Bioenergetics deals with the very first energy transformation steps performed by living cells. Increased dissipation is the major effect of processing external energy packages. Enzyme-supported charge separation is the minor but essential outcome for maintaining life.

Davor Jureti¿ is Professor Emeritus and a scientific adviser at the Mediterranean Institute for Life Sciences in Split, Croatia. His initial education in theoretical physics led to biophysics, bioinformatics, and bioenergetics training in the USA. He established the Biophysics Ph.D. Program at the University of Split. His publications are from the research fields of peptide antibiotics, predictions of membrane buried protein helical segments, and applications of the maximum entropy production principle in physics and biology.
