Found inside mitochondria, ATP synthase generates the energy storage molecule adenosine triphosphate, which the cells of all living things use for fuel. The enzyme generally looks similar in shape ...

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

"The ATP synthase protein complex consists of a spinning rotor driven by the back transport of protons into the mitochondrial matrix. This part is connected to the enzyme's catalytic head by a stalk, ...

Oncotarget recently published "Targeting breast cancer metabolism with a novel inhibitor of mitochondrial ATP synthesis" by Kim, et al. which reported that the authors show that CADD522 inhibits ...

TMC207 is a first-in-class anti-TB diarylquinoline (also named R207910 or the 'J' compound) with activity against drug-sensitive and drug-resistant TB. TMC207 inhibits the proton pump of mycobacterial ...

If there’s one thing that most folks will remember from even just high school biology class, it’s that the mitochondria is the “powerhouse of the cell.” Why? Because it creates ATP, a cellular ...

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 ...
