For the first time, scientists have described in this week's Science a way for cells to add phosphate groups to proteins that doesn't involve using adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as a donor. "Nobody had ...

The citric acid cycle, also called the TCA or Krebs cycle, is a core metabolic pathway and a high-yield MCAT topic. It converts acetyl-CoA into ATP, NADH, and FADH2 through a sequence of enzyme-driven ...

A paper by scientists affiliated with the University of São Paulo highlights new discoveries regarding the mechanisms of oxidative phosphorylation involved in ATP production. Recent studies have ...

Osteoblasts derived from MSCs are cells required for bone formation. Oxidative phosphorylation produces a lot of ATP and other products including NAD+ and ROS. These factors play important roles in ...

Synaptic transmission is an energy hog. It requires neurons to tap ATP reserves to respond to incoming signals. How do they pull this off, thousands to millions of times per day? A new study ...
