Citrate is essential for the metabolism and development of neurons. A membrane transport protein called SLC13A5 plays a central role in this process and has previously been linked to a particularly ...

Researchers at the IPK Leibniz Institute have discovered a previously unknown protein that is central to plant reproduction.

The tumor suppressor p53 is a transcription factor that controls the expression of hundreds of genes. Emerging evidence suggests that the p53-induced RNA-binding protein ZMAT3 is a key splicing ...

Groundbreaking new research reveals that muscle protein synthesis after exercise has no upper limit. Ingesting 100g of protein leads to sustained growth with minimal waste. The 25g rule is ...

1 Introduction. The flow of electrons through an ordered series of proteins embedded in the inner membranes of mitochondria and in aerobic bacteria provides the driving force for proton transfer ...

Introduction. Proton transfer reactions are fundamental to cells from all branches of life. Among proteins that use proton binding and proton transfer for biological function, one of the best studied ...

Mitochondria are the powerhouses of our cells, generating energy that supports life. A giant molecular proton pump, called complex I, is crucial: It sets in motion a chain of reactions, creating a ...

Protein engineering makes coupling visible. The team manipulated the hydrogenases in such a way that the proton transfer was significantly slower, but hydrogen could still be converted.

Electron movement—what scientists call electron transfer ... small protein electron carriers," explained Kramer, an expert in bioenergetics and photosynthesis electron and proton transfer ...
