Respiration: Life Without Complex I
Abstract
Eukaryotic life has developed a fascinating and highly optimized system for energy transduction: the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Typically composed of five core protein complexes, we now learn from two studies that plant hemi-parasites of the type Viscum cope without Complex I, the entry point of the classical respiratory system.
