F 1-ATPaseは、ATPによって駆動される回転分子モーターであり、逆方向に回転させるとATPを合成する。我々は、ATP合成の機構を解明するために、磁石を使ってモーターを任意の方向に回転させ、その際に起こる蛍光標識したADPとATPの結合と解離をイメージングした ...

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 ...

The proton gradients that power respiration are as universal as the genetic code itself, giving an insight into the origin of life and the singular origin of complexity. Why do virtually all cells ...

A recent study by Chinese scientists has revealed the intricate molecular machinery driving energy exchange within chloroplasts, shedding light on a key event in the evolution of plant life. Led by ...

Neurodegenerative disease like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) are debilitating conditions that affect millions of people worldwide every year. These pathologies are ...
