That does mean that a few crazies on the fringe will go wandering off the edge of reality, but at the same time it means that we can have Margulises and Mitchells (the chemiosmotic explanation of mitochondrial function, if you don't know the name) who can follow up wild ideas that turn out to be right.

Michel has later also crystallized and determined the structure of the terminal enzyme in respiration, and his two structures have allowed detailed studies of electron transfer (cf. Sections 3.3 and 3.4) and its coupling to proton pumping, key features of the chemiosmotic mechanism for which Peter Mitchell had already received the
