While different electron transporters have been identified in smaller organisms such as bacteria and worms, ubiquinone has long been the only known electron transporter found in mammals.

So why do so many life-forms breathe oxygen?There are probably thousands of kinds of metabolisms, or chemical processes that maintain life, said Donald Canfield, a geobiologist at the University of ...

Electron transfer is central to many chemical reactions in the cell. It has particular functional importance in cell respiration, which in eukaryotes takes place in the inner mitochondrial ...

High-resolution cryo-electron microscopy makes it possible to study complex enzymatic processes in detail. With this method, a research team of the University of Potsdam and Humboldt-Universität ...

IN recent years there has been considerable argument concerning the electron affinity of oxygen 1,2, and it is the purpose of this communication to direct attention to recent developments in this ...

Boosting the selectivity in oxygen electrocatalysis using chiral nanoparticles as electron-spin filters In this study, chiral gold nanoparticles with a concave vortex cube structure were employed as ...
