A set of biochemical processes crucial to cellular life on Earth could have originated in chemical reactions taking place on the early Earth four billion years ago, believes a group of scientists. A ...

If you took biochemistry classes, chances are good you remember memorizing the Krebs cycle, a well-known metabolic pathway in which sugars are converted through a series of steps to generate ATP, a ...

Metabolism is a key process in living things that enables fuel to be turned into energy, but its evolutionary origin is a long-standing enigma. Now, a study by US researchers has found a simple ...

A particulate fraction, showing catalytic activity towards intermediates of the Krebs cycle, has been isolated from pea seedlings by the method of differential centrifugation. The particulate material ...
