Dissipated energy affects properties up to 100 nm away
Reveals a new mechanism of biochemical regulation
Abstract
ATP-hydrolysis is the basic energy source of many physiological processes, but there is a lack of knowledge regarding its biological role other than energy transfer and thermogenesis. Not all the energy released by ATP-hydrolysis could be used in powering target biological processes and functions. Partial energy dissipates into water. By validating the impact of this dissipated energy, we found that energy released by ATP hydrolysis could induce notable regulation of biomolecule's properties 100 nanometers away. Namely ATP hydrolyzation is recycled in remote biochemical property modulation.
