Mitchell in 1961 to explain ATP synthesis in the inner membrane of mitochondria and of chloroplasts by a fuel-cell type of mechanism ...

This project is interested in how ATP synthase can rotate, how the rotation transmits the energy from proton flow, the mechanism of ATP synthesis, and why the biological world has adapted this type of ...

The human body uses three types of molecules to yield the necessary energy to drive ATP synthesis: fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Over a hundred ATP molecules are synthesized from the complete ...

Mitochondria are critical for cellular homeostasis, regulating bioenergetics, redox balance, Ca2+ signaling, and cell death.

In particular, mitochondrial Ca 2+ plays a dual role: enabling physiological functions like metabolism and ATP synthesis while contributing to pathological processes such as apoptosis and ...

Mitochondria are crucial organelles for cellular homeostasis, regulating processes such as ATP production, reactive oxygen species (ROS) management and Ca 2+ signaling. In particular, mitochondrial Ca ...
