Cytochrome c (cyt c) is a small soluble heme protein characterized by a relatively flexible
structure, particularly in the ferric form, such that it is able to sample a broad conformational …

Cytochrome c (Cytc) is essential in mitochondrial electron transport and intrinsic type II
apoptosis. Mammalian Cytc also scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS) under healthy …

Since it has been recognized that mitochondria are crucial not only for energy metabolism
but also for other cellular functions, there has been a growing interest in cardiolipin, the …

Recently, phospholipid peroxidation products gained a reputation as key regulatory
molecules and participants in oxidative signaling pathways. During apoptosis, a …

We show here the biodegradation of single-walled carbon nanotubes through natural,
enzymatic catalysis. By incubating nanotubes with a natural horseradish peroxidase (HRP) …

The heme in the active center of peroxidases reacts with hydrogen peroxide to form highly
reactive intermediates, which then oxidize simple substances called peroxidase substrates …

Abstract Thirty years after Peter Mitchell was awarded the Nobel Prize for the chemiosmotic
hypothesis, which links the mitochondrial membrane potential generated by the proton …

Cardiolipin (CL) is a unique anionic phospholipid specific to the mitochondria. CL influences
the activity of electron transport chain enzyme complexes as well as members of the Bcl-2 …

Lipid peroxidation can be broadly defined as the process of inserting a hydroperoxy group
into a lipid. Polyunsaturated fatty acids present in the phospholipids are often the targets for …

Cardiolipins (CL) represent unique phospholipids of bacteria and eukaryotic mitochondria
with four acyl chains and two phosphate groups that have been implicated in numerous …
