Oxygen Activation and Energy Conservation by Cytochrome c Oxidase
This review focuses on the type A cytochrome c oxidases (CcO), which are found in all mitochondria and also in several aerobic bacteria. CcO catalyzes the respiratory reduction of dioxygen (O2) to water by an intriguing mechanism, the details of which ...

Mechanical ventilation preserves diaphragm mitochondrial function in a rat sepsis model
Background To describe the effect of mechanical ventilation on diaphragm mitochondrial oxygen consumption, ATP production, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and cytochrome c oxidase activity and content, and their relationship to diaphragm ...

The Complexity of Mitochondrial Complex IV: An Update of Cytochrome c Oxidase Biogenesis in Plants
Mitochondrial respiration is an energy producing process that involves the coordinated action of several protein complexes embedded in the inner membrane to finally produce ATP.

Kinetics of proton pumping in cytochrome c oxidase [PDF]
We propose a simple model of cytochrome c oxidase, including four redox centers and four protonable sites, to study the time evolution of electrostatically coupled electron and proton transfers initiated by the injection of a single electron into the enzyme.

New insight into the mechanism of mitochondrial cytochrome c function. [PDF]
We investigate functional role of the P76GTKMIFA83 fragment of the primary structure of cytochrome c. Based on the data obtained by the analysis of informational structure (ANIS), we propose a model of functioning of cytochrome c. According to this model,

Portosystemic hepatic encephalopathy model shows reversal learning impairment and dysfunction of neural activity in the prefrontal cortex and regions involved in motivated behavior [PDF]
Hepatic encephalopathy is a neurological complication that affects attention and memory. Experimental animal models have been used to study hepatic Encephalopathy, the most frequent being the portacaval shunt. In order to determine learning impairment and brain functional alterations in this model, we assessed reversal learning and neural metabolic ...

Thermodynamic Volume Cycles for Electron Transfer in the Cytochrome c Oxidase and for the Binding of Cytochrome c to Cytochrome c Oxidase [PDF]
Dilatometry is a sensitive technique for measuring volume changes occurring during a chemical reaction. We applied it to the reduction-oxidation cycle of cytochrome c oxidase, and to the binding of cytochrome c to the oxidase. We measured the volume changes that occur during the interconversion of oxidase intermediates.

How germline genes promote malignancy in cancer cells
We hypothesize that activation of a “germline program” promotes oncogenesis. Expression of otherwise germline specific genes may result in pseudomeiotic activity, thereby promoting oncogenesis through genomic instability. Other processes that are differentially regulated in the germline, such as migration and epigenetic – and metabolic plasticity, may ...
