At the inner mitochondrial membrane, a high energy electron is passed along an electron transport chain. The energy released ... through the membrane, through ATP synthase. As this happens ...

Often called the "energy currency" of cells, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is produced ... the gradual oxidation of electron donors in the electron transport chain to the pumping of protons through ...

These are mitochondria of several distantly related unicellular eukaryotes (protists) that lack an electron transport chain altogether. They synthesize ATP from pyruvate breakdown via simple ...

In the bacterium M. smegmatis, an enzyme called MftG allows the cofactor mycofactocin to transfer electrons released during ethanol metabolism to the electron transport chain.

A study conducted by researchers from the University of São Paulo sheds light on new discoveries about the mechanisms of oxidative phosphorylation in ATP production. Recent findings highlight the ...
