Question
This molecule’s terminal groups must bind to a magnesium ion for this molecule to have biological activity. The ABC family of proteins rely on the binding of this molecule. A group of enzymes that synthesize this molecule contain a hydrophobic F0 (“F zero”) subunit and a hydrophilic F1 (“F one”) unit. Adenylyl (“uh-DEN-uh-lil”) cyclase converts this molecule into the secondary messenger cAMP (“C-A-M-P”). A rotor-like molecule generates this compound using a (*) proton gradient. Along with NADH and pyruvate, two units of this molecule are the end product of glycolysis. 38 units of this molecule are produced by the end of cellular respiration in the mitochondria. For 10 points, name this “energy currency” of the cell. ■END■
