ATP- Energy Currency of cell The nucleotide coenzyme adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the most important form of chemical energy in all cells. All fuel sources of Nature, all foodstuffs of living things, produce ATP, which in turn powers virtually every activity of the cell and organism. The cleavage of ATP is strongly exergonic. The energy

Case Study A 30 -year- old patient reported to medical OPD complaining of generalized weakness, excessive perspiration, and high caloric intake without an increase in body weight. From the age of seven, she had suffered from profuse sweating that forced her to change clothes about ten times a day. To compensate for the loss of

Under aerobic conditions regeneration of cytosolic NAD+ from cytosolic NADH is accomplished by transferring electrons across the mitochondrial membrane barrier to the electron transport chain where the electrons are transferred to oxygen. There are two different shuttle mechanisms whereby this transfer of electrons across the membrane to regenerate cytosolic NAD+ can be accomplished, the glycerol 3-phosphate shuttle and the malate-aspartate
