This review focuses on the type A cytochrome c oxidases (C c O), which are found in all
mitochondria and also in several aerobic bacteria. C c O catalyzes the respiratory reduction …

1. INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW The transfer and transport of electrons through
biological matter is one of the key steps underlying cellular energy harvesting, storage, and …

At the core of many important energy conversion processes in chemistry and biology are
oxidation-reduction reactions in which both electrons and protons are transferred. An …

Enzyme reactions that involve strong coupling between proton and electron transfer are of
fundamental importance in biology. This is particularly evident in the reactions of primary …

Cellular respiration has a long research history at the interface between biology, chemistry,
and physics. Research in this field spans the entire range from fundamental mechanistic and …

The chapter provides a review of the state of art of the oxidative phosphorylation system in
mammalian mitochondria. The sections of the paper deal with:(i) the respiratory chain as a …
