On This Day in Adenosine Triphosphate

On This Day in Adenosine Triphosphate: André Jagendorf dies, 13 March 2017. Jagendorf demonstrated direct evidence that chloroplasts synthesize adenosine triphosphate (ATP) using the chemiosmotic mechanism proposed by Peter Mitchell.

On This Day in Adenosine Triphosphate is an occasional feature of the Gnomon Chronicles which celebrates adenosine triphosphate (ATP), an organic compound and hydrotrope that provides energy to drive many processes in living cells, such as muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, condensate dissolution, and chemical synthesis. Found in all known forms of life, ATP is often referred to as the "molecular unit of currency" of intracellular energy transfer.
