The paper shows that human MTCH1/MTCH2 can replace trypanosomal pATOM36 in mitochondrial outer membrane biogenesis, revealing conserved structural and functional features across divergent insertases.

This study shows that compartmentalized oxygen generation from hydrogen peroxide enables anaerobic oxidative phosphorylation in bacteria, providing a fitness advantage in oxygen-limited environments.

This paper demonstrates that the hydrogenase Huc from Mycobacterium smegmatis can drive ATP synthesis from air, providing a traceless energy source for bacterial survival during nutrient starvation.

The paper compares two GUV formation techniques and evaluates their impact on vesicle structure and protein incorporation.
