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 (-5[1])this molecule contain a hydrophobic (15[1])F0 (“F zero”) subunit and a hydrophilic (-5[1])F1 (“F one”) unit. (-5[1])Adenylyl (“uh-DEN-uh-lil”) cyclase converts this molecule into the secondary messenger (15[1])cAMP (“C-A-M-P”). A rotor-like molecule generates this compound (15[1])using (15[1])a (*) proton gradient. Along with NADH and (10[1])pyruvate, two units of this molecule are the end product of glycolysis. (10[2])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■ (10[3])
