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 ...

"People have tried to work on a non-enzymatic Krebs cycle for years, but most have thought about it theoretically or philosophically. Few have done systematic physical experiments like those we report ...

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 ...

Little kids love dinosaurs, bugs and exploring the woods. Science doesn't scare them; they find it fun — until 9th grade. That's when most of us take our first biology class and everything changes.

The Krebs cycle represents a common meeting place of carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism. It variously serves as a means to produce energy, generate intermediates, and convert molecules from ...

Like most medical students, I struggled to memorize the Krebs cycle, the complex energy-producing process that takes place in the body's mitochondria. Rote learning of Sir Hans Krebs' eponymous ...

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.

What would be the perfect revenge for a scientist whose paper is turned away from Nature? A Nobel Prize, of course. Such was the case for Hans Krebs, the biochemist who nabbed the award in 1953 for ...
