| Abstract | With the support of the Chemistry of Life Processes program in the Division of Chemistry, Dr A.-F. Miller from the University of Kentucky is studying how electron transfer bifurcation is interfaced with other reactions in metabolic pathways of diverse organisms. Microbes can convert solar energy to a maximally useful, energy-dense form and store the energy for use after sunset. Thus, life can exploit cheap, abundant energy sources to generate high-energy fuel. The microbes achieve this two-prong |
