A new study led by Rice University's Pernilla Wittung-Stafshede has revealed that protein clumps, or plaques that clog the brain, associated with Parkinson's disease are not merely waste; they can ...

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 ...

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a molecule that provides crucial energy to activate a wide array of biological processes, in many organisms including the movement of muscles and the propagation of ...

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the essential energy molecule that drives our bodies. The cleavage of one of its three phosphate molecules releases a massive amount of energy that powers cells. The ...

Energy production in nature is the responsibility of chloroplasts and mitochondria and is crucial for fabricating sustainable, synthetic cells in the lab. Mitochondria are not only "the powerhouses of ...

A team of scientists including a RUDN chemist has synthesized new molecules belonging to the class of calixarenes, bowl-like hollow structures. These substances appear to trap adenosine triphosphoric ...
