The study of plant mitochondria started in earnest around 1950 with the first isolations of
mitochondria from animal and plant tissues. The first 35 years were spent establishing the …

Transient physical association between enzymes appears to be a cardinal feature of
metabolic systems, yet the purpose of this metabolic organisation remains enigmatic. It is …

Plant metabolism is perturbed by various abiotic stresses. As such the metabolic network of
plants must be reconfigured under stress conditions in order to allow both the maintenance …

Sugars play important roles as both nutrients and regulatory molecules throughout plant life.
Sugar metabolism and signalling function in an intricate network with numerous hormones …

Protein film electrochemistry (PFE) has given unrivalled insight into the properties of redox
proteins and many electron-transferring enzymes, allowing investigations of otherwise ill …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are present at low and
controlled levels under normal conditions. These reactive molecules can increase to high …

The decade since the publication of the third edition of this volume has been an era of great
progress in biology in general and the plant sciences in particular. This is especially true …

Men may not be able to multitask, but it is emerging that proteins can. This capacity of
proteins to exhibit more than one function is termed protein moonlighting, and, surprisingly …

Metabolons are transient multi-protein complexes of sequential enzymes that mediate
substrate channeling. They differ from multi-enzyme complexes in that they are dynamic …

PEPC [PEP (phosphoenolpyruvate) carboxylase] is a tightly controlled enzyme located at
the core of plant C-metabolism that catalyses the irreversible β-carboxylation of PEP to form …
