Quantized Mitochondrial Metabolism
Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering) - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 1
Abstract
Mitochondrial biology is a rapidly growing sector, attracting the attention of many researchers. In particular, research on processes related to reactive oxygen species (ROS) and understanding of the risks associated with their production at mammalian mitochondria, has made significant progress in recent years. ROS production process has found to play a role in the development of diseases such as Alzheimer, Parkinson's, cancer, aging etc. Despite the fact that combating ROS has been the focus of many research groups, there has not been yet any proposal for a mechanism that could explain how mitochondrion produces free radicals. Such a mechanism would allow fighting ROS by limiting deregulated mitochondrial performance or by even restoring mitochondrial function, producing the proper amounts of water (H2O) and ATP. This study proposes a model for the mitochondrial production of free radicals and suggests a mechanism to discover mitochondrial dysfunction.
