Mitochondrial respiratory states and rates: building blocks of mitochondrial physiology (original) (raw)

2018, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics

This manuscript on 'Mitochondrial respiratory states and rates' is a position statement in the frame of COST Action CA15203 MitoEAGLE. The list of co-authors evolved beyond phase 1 (phase 1 versions 1-44) in the bottom-up spirit of COST. This is an open invitation to scientists and students to join as co-authors, to provide a balanced view on mitochondrial respiratory control, a fundamental introductory presentation of the concept of the protonmotive force, and a consensus statement on reporting data of mitochondrial respiration in terms of metabolic flows and fluxes. Phase 2: MitoEAGLE preprint 'The protonmotive force and respiratory control' (Versions 01-21): We continue to invite comments and suggestions, particularly if you are an early career investigator adding an open future-oriented perspective, or an established scientist providing a balanced historical basis. Your critical input into the quality of the manuscript will be most welcome, improving our aims to be educational, general, consensusoriented, and practically helpful for students working in mitochondrial respiratory physiology.
