A new study suggests electron transport chains—a metabolism system that creates usable energy—may have been present in Earth’s prebiotic minerals and sea water.

This mechanism links the gradual oxidation of electron donors in the electron transport chain to the pumping of protons through the membrane, generating the electrochemical gradient required for ...

The electron transport chain is comprised of a series of enzymatic reactions within the inner membrane of the mitochondria, which are cell organelles that release and store energy for all ...

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 ...

Mitochondria are the cell’s power plants and produce the majority of a cell’s energy needs through an electrochemical process called electron transport chain coupled to another process known as ...
