Advanced modeling of bioenergetics in the mitochondrial electron transport chain with emphasis on complex IV [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundMitochondrial bioenergetics are essential for cellular function, specifically the intricacies of the electron transport chain (ETC), with Complex IV playing a crucial role in unraveling the mechanisms governing energy production. Mathematical models offer a valuable approach to simulate these complex processes, providing insights into

Ascorbate Biosynthesis in Mitochondria Is Linked to the Electron Transport Chain between Complexes III and IV [PDF]
Abstract Ascorbic acid is synthesized from galactono-γ-lactone (GL) in plant tissues. An improved extraction procedure involving ammonium sulfate precipitation of membrane proteins from crude leaf homogenates yielded a simple, quick method for determining tissue activities of galactono-γ-lactone dehydrogenase (GLDH).

NDUFA4 Is a Subunit of Complex IV of the Mammalian Electron Transport Chain [PDF]
The oxidative phosphorylation system is one of the best-characterized metabolic pathways. In mammals, the protein components and X-ray structures are defined for all complexes except complex I. Here, we show that NDUFA4, formerly considered a constituent of NADH Dehydrogenase (CI), is instead a component of the cytochrome c oxidase (CIV).

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,

Mitochondrial Function and Parkinson’s Disease: From the Perspective of the Electron Transport Chain
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is known as a mitochondrial disease. Some even regarded it specifically as a disorder of the complex I of the electron transport chain (ETC).

ETMB-RBF: discrimination of metal-binding sites in electron transporters based on RBF networks with PSSM profiles and significant amino acid pairs. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Cellular respiration is the process by which cells obtain energy from glucose and is a very important biological process in living cell. As cells do cellular respiration, they need a pathway to store and transport electrons, the electron ...

Evaluation of functioning of mitochondrial electron transport chain with NADH and FAD autofluorescence [PDF]
We prove the feasibility of evaluation of mitochondrial electron transport chain function in isolated mitochondria of smooth muscle cells of rats from uterus using fluorescence of NADH and FAD coenzymes. We found the inversely directed changes in FAD and
