The respiratory Complex I is a highly intricate redox-driven proton pump that powers oxidative phosphorylation across all domains of life. Yet, despite major efforts, its long-range energy transductio...

Ribonucleotide reductases (RNRs) catalyze the conversion of ribonucleotide (RNA) to deoxyribonucleotide (DNA) building blocks initiated by a long-r...

The bioenergetic complexes of energy-transducing membranes generate a proton current that powers the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate. Yet, sinc...

Att tilldelas Göran Gustafssonprisen för forskare upp till 45 års ålder är ett bevis på att man tillhör forskningsfronten i Sverige inom sitt område. I år gick prispengarna till forskning som kan ge s...

The Rnf complex is a key respiratory enzyme of anaerobes and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Here, the authors combine structural, computational, and biochemical experiments to probe the unique redox-couple...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are physiologically harmful radical species generated as byproducts of aerobic respiration. To detoxify ROS, most cells employ superoxide scavenging enzymes that dispropo...

Photosystem II (PSII) catalyzes light-driven water oxidation that releases dioxygen into our atmosphere and provides the electrons needed for the s...
