Which thing gets oxidized, the oxidizing agent? No wait, that's what gets reduced, or is it the reducing agent? Ahh! Stupid binary concepts! OK, settle down. Watch this clip and learn everything you need to know about electron transfer.

Looking at interesting molecules in virtual reality that possess no chiral centers.

In 2016, the first synthetic organism of original design was created. When you hear this statement, what does it make you think of? The word synthetic does imply that something was built by man. But if you're imagining artificial...

The trilogy is finally concluded! And with a bang, no less, as this final stage of cellular respiration is the one that provides the big energy payoff for the cell. Let's learn about how the products of the Citric Acid cycle go on to the...
