ATP consists of an adenosine base (blue), a ribose sugar (pink) and a phosphate chain. The high-energy phosphate bond in this phosphate chain is the key to ATP's energy storage potential. Cells ...

If there’s one thing that most folks will remember from even just high school biology class, it’s that the mitochondria is the “powerhouse of the cell.” Why? Because it creates ATP, a cellular ...

The process of ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, being converted into energy is fairly complex. However, here’s a quick rundown of how it works: Since ATP is so critical, your body has several systems ...

Tricalcium phosphate [Ca 3 (PO 4) 2, TCP] is a salt that occurs naturally in rocks from around the Earth, in the teeth of humans and other animals, and even in milk. Along with other components of ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Cyclic molecules are used in a wide range of applications, including molecular sensing, because they can incorporate specific molecules of interest into their inner cavities.

While conducting an otherwise straightforward investigation into the assembly mechanism of calcium-phosphate clusters, researchers at UC Santa Barbara and New York University (NYU) made a surprising ...
