The chemical ATP, adenosine triphosphate, is the fuel that powers all life. Despite ATP's central role, the structure of the enzyme generating ATP, F1Fo-ATP synthase, in mammals, including humans ...

In summary, the structure shows that ADP/ATP carrier provides a very tight binding pocket for CATR, explaining the high efficiency of this lethal poison. It also shows why all the chemical groups ...

But building ATP's complex chemical structure from scratch is energy intensive and requires six separate ATP-driven steps; while convincing models do allow for prebiotic formation of the ATP ...

ATP isolation from other sources followed over the next 15 years. Koscak Maruyama at Chiba University (Japan) wrote a comprehensive review of the discovery and structure elucidation of ATP in 1987.

solved the structure of a mitochondrial ATP synthase with native lipids. ATP synthase is a universal molecular machine for energy conversion. By coupling to cellular respiration in mitochondria, it ...
