In preparation
- The central unifying theme of EBEC is Bioenergetics and by extension, chemiosmosis. Thus, essential topics for consideration for inclusion in the programme are oxidative phosphorylation in bacteria and mitochondria, photosynthesis, transmembrane transport of metabolites and other small molecules, passage of proteins through membrane barriers, bacterial motility and cell death via apoptosis and other mechanisms involving the mitochondria. As you are aware, in recent years great strides forward in understanding have been made in most of these fields. Thus, we recommend that these topics should provide the core of the programme. That is not to say that related topics such as mitochondrial diseases arising from mutations in both mt-DNA and nuclear genes, involvement of mitochondria in ageing and cancer and related medical issues should be excluded.
