Bacterial physiology returns

A new review paper with Christian Zerfaß and Orkun Soyer is now available online!

"Interrogating metabolism as an electron flow system"

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2452310018300829?via%3Dihub

Special Congrats to Christian!

In this piece of work, we argue that seeing metabolism as a thermodynamically driven electron flow system offers many fundamental insights. If you have learnt metabolisms with pathway-centric view and you think metabolism is boring, you will be surprised!! Metabolism is a super exciting research topic!!

see also this article from 1995.
