If you took biochemistry classes, chances are good you remember memorizing the Krebs cycle, a well-known metabolic pathway in which sugars are converted through a series of steps to generate ATP, a ...

IF WE want to understand the nature of life, we have to think about the flow of energy and matter. So argues biochemist and writer Nick Lane in his new book Transformer. Quoting the poem Like Most ...

A new study identifies recessive, loss-of-function mutations in IDH3B, encoding a subunit of the NAD-specific isocitrate dehydrogenase, in individuals with retinitis pigmentosa. The lack of any ...

Two simple molecules can react to form most of the intermediates in an analog of the modern-day Krebs cycle, without the need for enzymes or metals, according to a new study (Nat. Chem. 2020, DOI: ...

The Krebs cycle was with me on the crosstown bus this morning. Sitting in the very back of the bus, in my favorite spot, I have my first cup of coffee of the day, and work through the New York Times ...

The citric acid cycle is also known as the Krebs cycle or the tricarboxylic acid cycle. It is a series of reactions in a closed loop that are fundamental for cellular respiration. The citric acid ...

Reverse electron transport (RET) driven by the oxidation of succinate has been proposed as the mechanism of accelerated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in post-ischemic mitochondria.
