10. Biochemistry of energy metabolism

  • Basic principles of metabolic energetics.
  • Membrane separated compartments for the maintenance of electrochemical potentials.
  • Electron and proton translocating compounds.
  • Creation of membrane-separated potential differences through electron and proton transport.
  • Transformation of oxidation energy into chemiosmotic energy.
  • Transformation of chemiosmotic and oxidation energy into energy-rich compounds.
