Scientists at the MRC-MBU in Cambridge, U.K., have discovered how a key transport protein, called the mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier, transports adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the chemical fuel of the ...

Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) or adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-containing important biological molecules can modify macromolecules like proteins and nucleic acids to alter their function in the cell.

Researchers in Japan engineered an ancestral nucleoside diphosphate kinase variant with a restricted amino acid repertoire ...

We constructed a fluorescent sensor of adenylate nucleotides by combining a circularly permuted variant of GFP with a bacterial regulatory protein, GlnK1, from Methanococcus jannaschii. The sensor's ...

The CCDC6-RET protein promotes cancer. It was discovered more than three decades ago, but until now the way it worked could not be explained It is the first known protein kinase with the ability to ...

Researchers used a novel phosphate-activation reagent, 2-MeImIm-Cl, in an improved coupling reaction to increase the yield of ADP- or ATP-containing molecules. Unlike traditional reactions, the ...

A paper by the Mitochondrial Carrier research group at the MRC MBU in Cambridge, UK, titled "The molecular mechanism of transport by the mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier" has just been published by the ...
