An international research team led by Umeå professor Magnus Wolf-Watz has discovered how the magnesium atom directs the chemistry that catalyzes the production of the energy molecule ATP in a cell.

The cells of all living organisms are powered by the same chemical fuel: adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Now, researchers have found a way to generate ATP directly from electricity, which could ...

A molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the basic unit of biochemical energy that fuels the activities of all cells. Now a team led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and the Howard ...

This image shows the production of ATP in a mitochondrion, requiring > 100 proteins, and the synthetic vesicles producing ATP, with only 5 proteins. It is one of the most fundamental questions in ...

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a molecule that provides crucial energy to activate a wide array of biological processes, in many organisms including the movement of muscles and the propagation of ...

Several Dutch institutions are working together to investigate how life arose from lifeless molecules. In two recently published papers, scientists successfully recreated the mitochondria (in a simple ...
