The Dual Energy Supply of Eukaryotic Cells

Abstract

The regeneration of tissue damage is possible because our cells have a dual-energy supply system and can ensure tissue regeneration without O2. The publication summarizes the defining elements of the structures responsible for energy and energy-carrier transformation, specifically, the hypothetical Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP)-producing unit, the Structure for Energy Transformation (SET) of anaerobic glycolysis (SET-AG), and the SET of oxidative phosphorylation (SET-OP). SETAG is responsible for the anaerobic fermentation, while SET-OP is for the aerobic oxidative phosphorylation. The hypothesis also describes where the ADP, PO33- and energy for ATP formation come from during ATP synthesis in ATP synthase.
