A recent study by Chinese scientists has revealed the structure and function of the ATP/ADP translocator.

Chloroplasts employ an NTT protein to import ATP from the cytoplasm to fuel photosynthesis, starch synthesis, and fatty acid synthesis.

The "energy parasitism" exhibited by Chlamydia and the unique function of this protein have intrigued scientists for years .

The findings offer potential avenues for improving crop yields and developing new drugs.

This study uncovers the molecular mechanism of substrate recognition and transmembrane transport by the chloroplast and Chlamydia ATP/ADP translocator NTT protein.

It also provides valuable insights on engineering NTT proteins to improve crop yields and designing NTT Protein inhibitors.
