Energy transduction underpins fundamental cellular processes, converting chemical energy stored in gradients into the mechanical and chemical work essential for life. Central to this conversion is the ...

ATP synthase is often referred to as a complex molecular machine which has central rotor that moves at a speed of 150 rotations/s during ATP synthesis. In total, each glucose molecule undergoing ...

A study has been made of the structural requirements for organic acids that increase the yield of ATP formed by spinach chloroplasts in the dark due to an acid-base transition. Dicarboxylic acids of 4 ...

Hancock, N.H. — Nanotechnologists have recently succeeded in their attempts to build molecular systems based on highly efficient versions of the molecular “machine” that plants use to turn sunlight ...
