NADH: quinone oxidoreductase (complex I) pumps protons across the inner membrane of
mitochondria or the plasma membrane of many bacteria. Human complex I is involved in …

The chapter provides a review of the state of art of the oxidative phosphorylation system in
mammalian mitochondria. The sections of the paper deal with:(i) the respiratory chain as a …

Context Accumulating evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress
contribute to the pathogenesis of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. It remains unclear …

Covering: the literature from 1998 to 2004 The aim of the present review is to summarise the
knowledge about newly isolated acetogenins (ACGs) in the last six years. It will also report …

Microbes have a fascinating repertoire of bioenergetic enzymes and a huge variety of
electron transport chains to cope with very different environmental conditions, such as …

Changes in skeletal muscle respiratory capacity parallel that of aerobic fitness. It is unknown
whether mitochondrial content, alone, can fully account for these differences in skeletal …

Oxidative stress is among the major causes of toxicity due to interaction of Reactive Oxygen
Species (ROS) with cellular macromolecules and structures and interference with signal …

The enzymatic complexes of the mitochondrial respiratory chain have been extensively
investigated in their structural and functional properties. A clear distinction is possible today …

Cyanobacterial NDH-1 complexes belong to a family of energy converting NAD (P) H:
Quinone oxidoreductases that includes bacterial type-I NADH dehydrogenase and …

Oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) has a prominent role in energy metabolism of the cell.
Being under bigenomic control, correct biogenesis and functioning of the OXPHOS system is …
