Mitochondria are the powerhouses of our cells, generating energy that supports life. A giant molecular proton pump, called complex I, is crucial: It sets in motion a chain of reactions, creating a proton gradient that powers the generation of ATP, the cell's fuel. Scientists have solved the mystery of how complex I works: Conformational changes in the protein combined with electrostatic waves move protons into the mitochondrial matrix. (1)

Created out of nothing.

Is it a mystery to be solved?

Or a truth to be told?

The ones who have it cannot talk about it. What more proof would you need? That everything has been said already? And our silence is nothing more than the truth being told.

Through a mystery we still like to hold...
