How bacteria guide electron flow for efficient energy generation

Biochemists have isolated a protein supercomplex from a bacterial membrane that, like a battery, generates a voltage across the bacterial membrane. The voltage is used to make ATP, a key energy currency of life. The new findings will inform future efforts to obtain the atomic structures of large membrane protein supercomplexes.
