Adam asked the Naked Scientists:
hi I am just revising for my cancer biology module and have noticed that G proteins use GTP in cell signalling (e.g. Ras etc) and a question occurred to me.
How come cells use that GTP rather than ATP in cell signalling? I know this is a bit of a specific question for the show, but I just thought I'd quiz you guys to see if you knew.
It's coming up to my fourth year of subscribing to the podcast (http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/podcasts/) now and haven't missed one yet, keep up the good work guys.
Adam :-)
What do you think?
