ATP, adenosine triphosphate, is used by all cells as an energy intermediate. During cellular respiration, energy is captured when a phosphate is added to ADP (adenosine diphosphate) to generate ...

Ancient chemistry may explain why living things use ATP as the universal energy currency An early step in metabolic evolution set the stage for emergence of ATP as ...

Here we report the structure of mammalian skeletal muscle actomyosin rigour complex at 5.2 Å ... (c,d) myosin structure upon ATP binding with its L50D helix–loop–helix and loop ...

Lowering the temperature decreased DRX and SRX-linked ATP turnover times in SA and IBA, leading to an increase in ATP consumption. Metabolic organs, such as skeletal muscle, are well known to increase ...

Interestingly, unlike skeletal muscle and other organs in the body, the brain did not demonstrate an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) emission or oxidative stress.

Nimbus Therapeutics Publishes First-Ever High-Resolution Structure of ATP-Citrate Lyase. Research published in Nature utilizes cryo-EM to determine structure of critical metabolic protein.

The amount of ATP present in the skeletal muscles (~5 mmol·kg −1 wet weight) is not sufficient to provide a continuous supply of energy, especially at high exercise intensities.
