65 years after Peter Mitchell’s chemiosmotic theory, we report an association between ATP synthase and the electron transport chain. In the preprint led by @longzhou88.bsky.social, we describe a large supercomplex and show how the supramolecular organization contribute to oxidative phosphorylation 🧵
The mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation system powering most aerobic organisms is typically depicted as two spatially segregated machineries(1): electron transport chain complexes I-IV (ETC CI-CIV
