Principles of Bioenergetics summarizes one of the quickly growing branches of modern biochemistry.Bioenergetics concerns energy transductions occurring in living systems andthis book pays special attention to molecular mechanisms of these processes.The main subject of the book is the "energy coupling membrane" which refers toinner membranes of intracellular organelles, for example, mitochondria and chloroplasts. Cellular cytoplasmic membranes where respiratory and photosynthetic energy transducers, as well as ion-transporting ATP-synthases (ATPases)are also part of this membrane.Significant...

Membrane bioenergetics is one of the most rapidly growing areas within physico-chemical biology. Main aspects treated in this book include energy conservation and utilization by membrane-linked molecular mechanisms such as intracellular respiration, photosynthesis, transport phenomena, rotation of bacterial flagella, and the regulation of heat production.
