Abstract: Mitochondrial membrane‐embedded redox proteins are classically perceived as deterministic “electron transport chain” (ETC) arrays cum proton pumps; and oxygen is seen as an “immobile terminal electron acceptor.” This is untenable because: (1) there are little… read more here.

Abstract: Protection of transfer RNAs from fragmentation avoids overstressing T cells When exposed to external antigens, T cells are rapidly activated to proliferate and differentiate. A genetic screen identified a mutation called elektra that causes immunodeficiency… read more here.
