Researchers advocate ‘rewriting’ of textbooks on electron transport chain in mitochondria A paper by scientists affiliated with the University of São Paulo highlights new discoveries ...

For their study, the investigators altered a key step in the electron transport chain, the process that moves electrons through mitochondria, and which ultimately leads to production of adenosine ...

Investigators led by Navdeep Chandel, Ph.D., the David W. Cugell, MD, Professor of Medicine in the Division of Pulmonary and ...

For this study, their labs altered a key step in the electron transport chain, a process that moves electrons through mitochondria, leading to the production of adenosine phosphate (ATP), the main ...

Research on Atm1 protein’s role in iron-sulfur cluster transport across membranes could improve our understanding of mitochondrial conditions. A ubiquitous protein family found in almost all ...

The cells’ mitochondria skip a key metabolic reaction that takes place in other cells in the body, a study finds. Scientists have discovered that a lack of iron in pregnant mice can alter the sex ...

Notably, copper is required for building cytochrome c oxidase, known as COX, a large protein complex in mitochondria that forms the last step of the electron transport chain, which harvests energy ...

In total, each glucose molecule undergoing cellular respiration produces 38 ATP molecules – 2 ATPs from glycolysis, 2 ATPs from the Kreb’s cycle, and 34 ATPs from the electron transport chain.
