Paired Moving Charges in Mitochondrial Energy Coupling

David E Green *, Stanley Reible †
PMCID: PMC433996  PMID: 4531024

Abstract

A model of mitochondrial energy coupling has been proposed based on the principles of paired charge separation and vectorial paired charge flow. The unique role of the electron transfer chain and ionophores in mediating charge separation is emphasized.

Keywords: paired charge separation, charge-separated state, paired charge flow
