The proton gradients that power respiration are as universal as the genetic code itself, giving an insight into the origin of life and the singular origin of complexity. Why do virtually all cells ...
Mitochondrial ATP synthases form dimers, which assemble into long ribbons at the rims of the inner membrane cristae. We reconstituted detergent-purified mitochondrial ATP synthase dimers from the ...
The endogenous inhibitor of ATP synthase in mitochondria, called IF₁, conserves cellular energy when the proton-motive force collapses by inhibiting ATP hydrolysis. Around neutrality, the ...
Recently, a research team led by Professor Hongzhe SUN from the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, The University of Hong Kong, has published a paper in Nature Communications. The ...
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 ...
A recent study explains an essential component for proper mitochondrial function: The protein complexes MICOS and ATP synthase can communicate with each other. Researchers have uncovered an important ...
Regulating the flow of protons across the chloroplast and modulating the activity of its CF o-CF 1 adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthase protein are key to protecting plants from excessive light ...
