ATP synthase is an enzyme complex that catalyses the synthesis of ATP. It is a type of ligase as it catalyses the formation of phosphodiester bonds.The reaction is as follows:ADP + Pi + 2H+(out) ⇌ ATP + H2O + 2H+(in)The formation of ATP is energetically unfavourable, therefore it...
1C). When balancing the transformation of the electrochemical proton gradient into chemical energy, the following calculation is used: a full turn of the oligomer IIIx/cx through 360° results in synthesis of three ATP molecules, whereby the number of protons is equivalent to the number of ...
In the present work, we describe a modification of the luciferase/luciferin technique that allows rapid continous measurement of the ATP synthesis rate with a high time resolution at physiological (millimolar range) concentrations of ATP. The principle is based on the properties of a modified ATP, ...
Metabolism - ATP Synthesis, Mitochondria, Energy: In order to understand the mechanism by which the energy released during respiration is conserved as ATP, it is necessary to appreciate the structural features of mitochondria. These are organelles in ani
Nevertheless, ATP does play a crucial role in protein stability (never mind synthesis) by fueling amazing chaperone machines that help proteins to fold, remain folded and that refold/disaggregate them when needed (Saschenbrecker et al, 2007; Nillegoda et al, 2015). ...

The discovery that ATP synthesis is powered by proton gradients was one of the most counterintuitive in biology. The mechanisms by which proton gradients are formed and coupled to ATP synthesis are known in atomic detail, but the broader question - why a
The enzyme is involved in ATP synthesis in the electron transport chain in a process called. What can mitochondria directly use to make ATP? Glucose and oxygen, the what of photosynthesis, are the what of cellular respiration? What is photosynthesis in biology? What is the electron carrier used...
DNA and RNA Synthesis When cells divide and undergo theprocess of cytokinesis, ATP is used to grow the size and energy content of the new daughter cell. The ATP is used to trigger DNA synthesis, where the daughter cell receives a complete copy of the DNA from the parent cell. ...
In addition to finding beneficial carbon sources for fermentation, the study also demonstrated that the ATP biosensor could be used to shed light on complicated metabolic processes. The process considered in the study involved the synthesis of limonene, which generally delivers low yields. Also,...
