Abstract: From Schatz G (2012) The fires of life. Annu Rev Biochem 81: 34β59.:
This retrospective recounts the hunt for the mechanism of mitochondrial ATP synthesis, the early days of research on mitochondrial formation, and some of the colorful personalities dominating these often dramatic and emotional efforts. The narrative is set against the backdrop of postwar Austria and Germany and the stream of young scientists who had to leave their countries to receive postdoctoral training abroad. Many of themβincluding the authorβchose the laboratory of a scientist their country had expelled a few decades before. The article concludes with some thoughts on the uniqueness of U.S. research universities and a brief account of the struggles to revive science in Europe.
