The inner membrane of a mitochondrion as a landscape: four protein complexes, ATP synthase, and a lion cub named Leo

Inside the Mitochondrion

How one glucose becomes about 30 ATP. An MCAT unit you walk through, then explain out loud.

Start

Watch it run

Follow one glucose from the cytosol to ATP synthase. Each protein is drawn from its real structure.

Break it

Say what cyanide, oligomycin and DNP will do. Then add them and watch oxygen use, the gradient and ATP.

Teach Mia

She has a few things mixed up and some questions she got wrong. She only understands what you explain.
