A so-called "molecular chaperone", the protein Hsp70, carries out more functions in the maturation of proteins than previously thought. As the researchers have discovered, Hsp70 not only acts as a ...

Mitochondrial dysfunction, including decreased mitochondrial respiration and increased mitochondrial stress, is associated with many major human diseases and casual to many pathological defects.

A team of scientists headed by Rosalind Franklin University Professor David M. Mueller, PhD, has solved the structure of mitochondrial ATP synthase, an enzyme that makes ATP, adenosine triphosphate, ...

Bonn, January 10, 2023 - Scientists led by Prof. Thomas Becker, Director of the Institute of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB), have gained new insights into the ...

ATP synthase is a universal molecular machine for energy conversion. By coupling to cellular respiration in mitochondria, it catalyzes conversion of chemical energy of cells. Mitochondrial ATP ...

F-Type ATP synthase, a catalytic complex of proteins, synthesizes adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of living cells. A lot of ambiguity exists over the rotational mechanism of this ...

Scientists have solved the structure of mitochondrial ATP synthase, an enzyme that makes ATP, adenosine triphosphate, the major energy source of cells. A team of scientists headed by Rosalind Franklin ...
