Mitochondria regenerate adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through oxidative phosphorylation. This process is carried out by five membrane-bound complexes collectively known as the respiratory chain,...
In mitochondria, respiratory supercomplexes (blue) pump protons across crista membranes to create an electrochemical gradient, fueling adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthase (pink) to regenerate ATP—the energy currency of life. Now, cryo–electron tomography captures these

Barley flowers work hard to stop seed genes from turning on too early! Ultimately this allows them to produce high-quality #grain that can be used to make #beer. The gene involved is called MADS31. We should be thankful that MADS31 exists. https://t.co/5dIn3YL53Y
