Fifty years since its discovery, scientists have finally worked out how a molecular machine found in mitochondria allows us ...

Much like the traditional scanning electron microscope (SEM), the field emission scanning electron microscope uses electrons to illuminate a sample, instead of visible light as is used in optical ...

Figure 1: Structures of the Fd–FNR complex and PDR. Figure 3: NMR chemical shift perturbation of Fd upon complex formation with FNR. Figure 4: Structural perturbation of FNR induced by complex ...

Ubiquinone, a metabolite critical to generating energy in cells, has long been thought to be the only mitochondrial electron transport chain carrier in mammals. Although other electron transporters ...

At the 9th International Symposium on Functional π-Electron Systems (F-π-9) 2010, which took place at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, United States, the atmosphere was that of scientific excitement ...

Unlike the electron beam used in scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM, TEM), the beam in a focused ion beam system (FIB) is composed of gallium (Ga) ions. The ions forming the structure ...

Electron bifurcation is essential for the function of metabolic pathways in plants and animals that process energy at the cellular level. The lessons learned from the studies carried out by the team ...

The role of centrosomal tubulin glutamylation has remained elusive for decades. Here, a new tool enables precise ...

The GW4 Facility for High-Resolution Electron Cryo-Microscopy provides access to cryo-microscopy to researchers ... We enable the study of molecular processes responsible for cell function or ...

Authors should provide at the time of submission a short paragraph explaining why their work justifies urgent publication as a Communication. Ideally, a Full paper in Food & Function should follow ...

Its structure, as revealed by the electron microscope, mirrors its function It is the mitochondrion, a small body which appears to play a central role in the oxidation of foodstuff.
