Mitochondria are organelles with two well-defined compartments: the matrix, surrounded by the inner membrane (IM), and the intermembrane space, surrounded by the outer membrane (OM). The IM is ...

A paper by scientists affiliated with the University of São Paulo highlights new discoveries regarding the mechanisms of oxidative phosphorylation involved in ATP production. Recent studies have ...

I obtained my PhD from the University of Manchester where I characterised protein import and folding in the mitochondrial intermembrane space. My work showed that juxta-positioned intradisulphide ...

During this process, four proteins are pumped from the matrix into the intermembrane space. ND5 plays an important role in this connection, and any mutations of the mitochondrial encoded gene of ...

To produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate if you're nasty), electrons traverse the mitochondrial electron transport chain between the mitochondrial outer membrane and the intermembrane space.
