What are the Pathological Implications of Defective ATP Binding?
Defects in ATP binding can lead to numerous pathological conditions:
Myopathies: Mutations in ATP-binding sites of muscle proteins can cause muscle weakness and degeneration. Neurodegenerative Diseases: Impaired ATP binding in neurons can lead to diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Cancer: Abnormal ATP binding and signaling can contribute to uncontrolled cell proliferation.
