University of Helsinki scientists have identified an internal electron transfer reaction that starts the proton pump mechanism of the respiratory enzyme. Researchers at the university's Institute of ...

Many diseases derive from problems with cellular respiration, the process through which cells extract energy from nutrients. Researchers have now discovered a new function for a protein in the ...

Plants and trees may seem pretty passive, but behind the scenes, their cells are working hard to put on a magic show. In this episode of Crash Course Botany, we’ll explore how the processes of ...

Cellular respiration refers to the breakdown of glucose and other respiratory substrates to make energy carrying molecules called ATP. Test your understanding of this process now.

Understanding gene expression within the body has been a boon for 21st century biology and therapeutics, but most discoveries that use these technologies only focus on one organ or one small area of ...

A cell's identity is based on the genes it expresses, and scientists have been studying gene expression mechanisms for many years. But the process involves molecules that are too small to see, until ...

Strokes lead to irreversible damage to the brain and are one of the most common causes of dependency or death. As the cellular reactions to a cerebral infarction are not yet fully understood, there ...
