The redox regulation mechanism responsible for efficient production of ATP under varying light conditions in photosynthetic organisms has now been unveiled. Researchers investigated the enzyme ...

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) affects over 25% of Canadians and is a leading risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and liver transplant yet despite its ...

The citric acid cycle is also known as the Krebs cycle or the tricarboxylic acid cycle. It is a series of reactions in a closed loop that are fundamental for cellular respiration. The citric acid ...

Found inside mitochondria, ATP synthase generates the energy storage molecule adenosine triphosphate, which the cells of all living things use for fuel. The enzyme generally looks similar in shape ...

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a key molecule which upon hydrolysis provides energy to facilitate a variety of cellular processes that are essential for life. The cell utilizes the energy of ATP ...

Advanced herbicides and treatments for infection may result from the unraveling of a 50-year-old mystery. Advanced herbicides and treatments for infection may result from the unravelling of a ...

Researchers from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, say they have made an important discovery on how cells handle stress. Using bacterial cells, the team found that a damage-repairing enzyme, ...

ATP, the compound essential for the functioning of photosynthetic organisms such as plants, algae, and cyanobacteria, is produced by an enzyme called “chloroplast ATP synthase” (CF o CF 1). To control ...
