I Can't Sleep Podcast Episode 403: Electron Transport Chain
Electron Transport Chain
Tonight, we quietly explore the elegant molecular machinery of the electron transport chain—a vital cellular process that powers life itself through the gentle flow of electrons and energy. Benjamin Boster softly guides us through this fascinating biochemical pathway, where tiny particles dance through protein complexes to create the energy our cells need to thrive. Happy sleeping!

“An electron transport chain (ETC) is a series of protein complexes and other molecules which transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors via redox reactions (both reduction and oxidation occurring simultaneously) and couples this electron transfer with the transfer of protons (H+ ions) across a membrane. Many of the enzymes in the electron transport chain are embedded within the membrane.”
