A paper by scientists affiliated with the University of São Paulo highlights new discoveries regarding the mechanisms of oxidative phosphorylation involved in ATP production. Recent studies have ...

Ferredoxin is a pivotal iron–sulphur protein that functions as an electron carrier in the photosynthetic electron transport chain. Within chloroplasts, photosystem I reduces ferredoxin, which in turn ...

A specialized enzyme machinery enables methanogenic microorganisms to thrive under extreme energy limitation. Methanogenic archaea use sophisticated enzyme systems to live in energy-limited anoxic ...

Scientists have developed a simple, low-cost method to drive key chemical reactions, which could make large-scale drug ...

Whereas photosynthetic function under steady-state light conditions has been well characterized, little is known about its changes that occur in response to light fluctuations. Chlororespiration, a ...

Methanogenic archaea use sophisticated enzyme systems to live in energy-limited anoxic environments. A key mechanism for saving energy is electron bifurcation, a reaction that ‘splits’ the energy of a ...
