Photosystem I(PSI)is one of the two photosystems in photosynthesis,and performs a series of electron transfer reactions leading to the reduction of ferredoxin.In higher plants,PSI is surrounded by four light-harvestin...
Dear Editor,Mitochondrial Ca2+homeostasis regulates energy production,cell division,and cell death.The basic properties of mitochondrial Ca2+uptake have been firmly established.The Ca2+influx is mediated by MCU,driven...
Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles that are found in most eukaryotic organisms.It is broadly accepted that mitochondria originally evolved from prokaryotic bacteria,e.g.proteobacteria.The mitochondrion has its...
