Electron transport complexes are multisubunit assemblies that couple redox chemistry to proton or ion translocation, thereby driving ATP synthesis and maintaining cellular redox balance. Central to ...

In an article published in the journal Trends in Biochemical Sciences, Alicia Kowaltowski, full professor at the University of São Paulo's Institute of Chemistry (IQ-USP) in Brazil, advocates the ...

Changes in how brain cells generate energy may drive the development of Alzheimer's disease and influence how patients respond to therapy, according to a new study from Mayo Clinic researchers. The ...

The early 20 th century saw the advent of quantum mechanics to describe the properties of small particles, such as electrons or atoms. Schrödinger's equation in quantum mechanics can successfully ...

The number of graphene layers determines specific properties. Both single-layer and bi-layer graphenes are zero band gap semiconductors because of the association between conduction and the valance ...

At the nanoscale, where device dimensions approach the electron's mean free path, the scattering events that typically hinder electron motion in bulk materials can be substantially reduced. In an ...
