Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation: Debunking the concepts of electron transport chain, proton pumps, chemiosmosis and rotary ATP synthesis
Herein (the first part of my work), I debunk the long-standing hypotheses that explain mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Simple calculations point out that mitochondria are highly proton-deficient microcosms and therefore, elaborate proton pump machinery are not tenable. Further, other elements like the elaborate electron transport chain, chemiosmosis, rotary ATP synthesis, etc. are also critically evaluated to point out that such complicated systems are non-viable. The communication necessitates a new explanatory paradigm for cellular respiration. In the second part of my work, I have put forward a viable alternative explanatory paradigm for mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation.

Selective advantage of aerobic glycolysis over oxidative phosphorylation
The utilization of glycolysis in aerobic conditions have been a subject of debate for more than a century. A hypothesis supported by previous data is that glycolysis has a higher rate of ATP production per protein mass a…
Bond Graph Modelling of Chemiosmotic Biomolecular Energy Transduction
Engineering systems modelling and analysis based on the bond graph approach has been applied to biomolecular systems. In this context, the notion of a Faraday-equivalent chemical potential is introduced which allows chem…
Murburn concept: A facile explanation for oxygen-centered cellular respiration
Via a concomitant communication (the first part of my work), I have conclusively debunked the prevailing explanations for mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and established the need for a novel rationale to account …
Unveiling ADP-binding sites and channels in respiratory complexes: Validation of Murburn concept as a holistic explanation for oxidative phosphorylation
Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (mOxPhos) makes ATP, the energy currency of life. Chemiosmosis, a proton centric mechanism, advocates that Complex V harnesses a transmembrane potential (TMP) for ATP synthesis. Th…
Yeast caspase 1 suppresses the burst of reactive oxygen species and maintains mitochondrial stability in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Caspases are a family of cysteine proteases that play essential roles during apoptosis, and we presume some of them may also protect the cell from oxidative stress. We found that the absence of yeast caspase 1(Yca1)in Sa…
