Penetrating cardiac injury repaired under “intentional cardiac arrest” with adenosine triphosphate
Background Repairing a cardiac injury with beating heart is sometimes difficult and is associated with increased risks of complications. Here we report a case of cardiac injury repaired with administration of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Monitoring transient elastic energy storage within the rotary motors of single FoF1-ATP synthase by DCO-ALEX FRET [PDF]
The enzyme FoF1-ATP synthase provides the 'chemical energy currency' adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for living cells. Catalysis is driven by mechanochemical coupling of subunit rotation within the enzyme with conformational changes in the three ATP binding sites.

It is well established that altered purinergic signaling contributes to vascular dysfunction in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Red blood cells (RBCs) serve as an important pool for circulating ATP and the release of ATP from RBCs in response to physiological ...

36 degree step size of proton-driven c-ring rotation in FoF1-ATP synthase [PDF]
Synthesis of the biological "energy currency molecule" adenosine triphosphate ATP is accomplished by FoF1-ATP synthase. In the plasma membrane of Escherichia coli, proton-driven rotation of a ring of 10 c subunits in the Fo motor powers catalysis in the F1 motor. While F1 uses 120 degree stepping, Fo models predict a step-by-step rotation of c subunits

Diffusion properties of single FoF1-ATP synthases in a living bacterium unraveled by localization microscopy [PDF]
FoF1-ATP synthases in Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria are membrane-bound enzymes which use an internal proton-driven rotary double motor to catalyze the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). According to the 'chemiosmotic hypothesis', a series of proton pumps generate the necessary pH difference plus an electric potential across the bacterial ...

On the Adenosine Triphosphate-Myosin System
SummaryAcetylcholine, epinephrine, a series of alkaloids, and several other substances were without influence on the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate. Copper and zinc salts inhibited the reaction.

Role of the phosphocreatine system on energetic homeostasis in skeletal and cardiac muscles
Adenosine triphosphate is the present energy currency in the body, and is used in various cellular and indispensable processes for the maintenance of cell homeostasis.

The regulatory switch of F1-ATPase studied by single-molecule FRET in the ABEL Trap [PDF]
F1-ATPase is the soluble portion of the membrane-embedded enzyme FoF1-ATP synthase that catalyzes the production of adenosine triphosphate in eukaryotic and eubacterial cells. In reverse, the F1 part can also hydrolyze ATP quickly at three catalytic binding sites. Therefore, catalysis of 'non-productive' ATP hydrolysis by F1 (or FoF1) must be minimized

Development of Carbon-Fiber Electrodes Modified for Electrochemical ATP Detection [PDF]
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a highly energetic molecule used as a coenzyme in the transfer of chemical energy required for the continuation of cellular metabolism. In addition, extracellular ATP has an important role in cell-to-cell communication in immune, nervous and vascular systems.

Signaling mediated by purines is a widespread mechanism of cell–cell communication related to vasomotor responses and the control of platelet function in the vascular system. However, little is known about the involvement of this signaling as well as the
