Bioenergetics, 3rd Edition

Bioenergetics, 3rd Edition

This textbook provides a detailed introduction to bioenergetics, focusing on the chemiosmotic theory and the mechanisms of energy conversion in biological membranes. David G. Nicholls and Stuart J. Ferguson explore energy production in mitochondria, bacteria, and chloroplasts, connecting molecular structures with cellular function. The revised edition includes updated research, new illustrations, and a dedicated chapter on mitochondrial bioenergetics in intact cells.

Key Features:

• Explains the principles of the chemiosmotic theory
• Explores membrane-based energy conversion and transduction
• Examines energy production and regulation in mitochondria
• Covers bioenergetic processes in bacteria and chloroplasts
• Explains the structure and function of ATP synthase
• Discusses the roles of photosystems in photosynthetic energy conversion
• Connects protein structures with biological energy mechanisms
• Includes a dedicated chapter on mitochondria in intact cells
• Features updated colour illustrations and protein structure diagrams
• Provides a valuable resource for students and researchers in biochemistry and cell biology
