Electron transfer in peptides and proteins.
TLDR
In this tutorial review, the models explaining ET through peptides and proteins are discussed and the biological relevance of ET is elucidated.
Synthesis of ATP coupled with action of membrane protonic pumps at the octane–water interface
TLDR
This work has studied the main stage of this process, the coupling of ATP synthetase to the action of membrane protonic pumps at an octane–water interface.
Mechanism of Photosynthetic Production and Respiratory Reduction of Molecular Dioxygen: A Biophysical and Biochemical Comparison
This chapter describes the role of the redox couple H2O/O2 as the cornerstone of biological Gibbs free energy transformation in all higher forms of life on earth.
Ion-Coupled Transport of Organic Solutes across Biological Membranes
The decade between 1957 and 1967 was a remarkable period in the evolution of our understanding of the relations between membrane transport and energy transduction by biological systems.
Regulation of proton-coupled electron transfer in cytochrome c oxidase : The role of membrane potential, proton pathways and ATP
TLDR
Cytochrome c oxidase (CytcO) is the final electron acceptor of the respiratory chain and a current of electrons, derived from degradation of nutrients, along with protons, are used to re-establish the electron chain.
Coupling of electron transfer to ion transport in macromosaic membrane system
Electron transfer can be readily coupled to ion transport by a circulating current generated in a novel macromosaic membrane system as in a biological system. A circulating current in the system…

Interpretation of Sodium the Exchange of Radio-Sodium in Isolated Muscle
TLDR
Calculated the minimal energy required for extrusion of sodium from the normal frog's sartorius if sodium entered as fast as potassium, and found that more than the energy available from the metabolism of the resting muscle would be needed.

TLDR
It is worthy of note that infusion of potato starch for 15 min. at 630, followed by a further 15 minutes before centrifuging, led to the development of fractions of both amylopectin and amylose, which differ from the main portions of these substances.
ION TRANSPORT AND RESPIRATION
TLDR
Light-stimulated absorption in green cells and other kinds of active transport are studied in relation to respiration and plant cell accumulation.
