Researchers create ADP- or ATP-containing molecules with improved yield and consistency

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 ...

Cross talk between P2 purinergic receptors modulates extracellular ATP-mediated interleukin-10 production in rat microglial cells

Extracellular purine (ATP, ADP) and pyrimidine (UTP, UDP) nucleotides mediate their effects via P2 receptors (Ralevic and Burnstock, 1998). P2 receptors consist of ligand-gated intrinsic ion channels, ...

Phosphoryl Group Exchange between ATP and ADP Catalyzed by H⁺-ATPase from Oat Roots

ATP-ADP exchange was estimated in the presence of plasma membrane H+-ATPase of oat (Avena sativa) roots partially purified with Triton X-100 by measuring [14C]ATP formation from [14C]ADP. Most studies ...
