Description for Principles of Bioenergetics
Paperback. This book examines 'energy coupling membranes' of intracellular organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts, and the function of mitochondria as generators of reactive oxygen species that mediate the programmed death of cells, a key mechanism of aging. Num Pages: 452 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MJX; PHVN; PNR; PSB; PSF. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 23. Weight in Grams: 688.
Principles of Bioenergetics summarizes one of the quickly growing branches of modern biochemistry. Bioenergetics concerns energy transductions occurring in living systems and this book pays special attention to molecular mechanisms of these processes. The main subject of the book is the "energy coupling membrane" which refers to inner membranes of intracellular organelles, for example, mitochondria and chloroplasts. Cellular cytoplasmic membranes where respiratory and photosynthetic energy transducers, as well as ion-transporting ATP-synthases (ATPases) are also part of this membrane. Significant attention is paid to the alternative function of mitochondria as generators of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that mediate programmed death of cells (apoptosis and necrosis) and organisms ...
