Open AccessLong-term viability and function of transplanted islets macroencapsulated at high density are achieved by enhanced oxygen supply
Transplantation of encapsulated islets can cure diabetes without immunosuppression, but oxygen supply limitations can cause failure. We investigated a retrievable macroencapsulation device wherein islets are e...

Regulation of Proton Flow and ATP Synthesis in Chloroplasts
The chloroplast ATP synthase is strictly regulated so that it is very active in the light (rates of ATP synthesis can be higher than 5 μmol/min/mg protein), but virtually inactive in the dark. The subunits of ...

Chapter
The CF0 Energy-Transfer Inhibitors DCCD and Venturicidin Greatly Vary in their Effect on Proton Flux Across the Thylakoid Membrane
Illuminated thylakoids, like other energy transducing membranes, couple electron transport to ATP synthesis via the formation of an electrochemical proton gradient that is utilized to make ATP. Electron transp...
