Effects of ligand binding on the energy landscape of acyl-CoA-binding protein [PDF]
Binding of ligands is often crucial for function yet the effects of ligand binding on the mechanical stability and energy landscape of proteins are incompletely understood. Here we use a combination of single-molecule optical tweezers and MD simulations to investigate the effect of ligand binding on the energy landscape of acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) binding

Abstract Primary mitochondrial diseases are a group of genetically and clinically heterogeneous disorders resulting from oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) defects. COX11 encodes a copper chaperone that participates in the assembly of complex IV and has not been previously linked to human disease. In a previous study, we identified that COX11 knockdown

Heart Failure—Do We Need New Drugs or Have Them Already? A Case of Coenzyme Q10
Heart failure (HF) is a global epidemic that contributes to the deterioration of quality of life and its shortening in 1–3% of adult people in the world. Pharmacotherapy of HF should rely on highly effective drugs that improve prognosis and prolong life.

Fluorescent redox-dependent labeling of lipid droplets in cultured cells by reduced phenazine methosulfate [PDF]
Natural and synthetic phenazines are widely used in biomedical sciences. In dehydrogenase histochemistry, phenazine methosulfate (PMS) is applied as a redox reagent for coupling reduced coenzymes to the reduction of tetrazolium salts into colored formazans.
