ATP-Powered Proteins Beyond Kinases – and Why Helicases Are Stealing the Spotlight - Promega Connections

This blog was written by guest author Michael Curtin, Senior Product Manager, Small Molecule Drug Discovery. ATP is the universal energy currency of cells, and thousands of proteins outside the kinase family “spend” it to move cargo, remodel nucleic acids, pump ions, or fold proteins. These ATP-hydrolyzing enzymes—collectively known as ATPases—span functional classes including motor […]
