Efficient Electron Hopping Transport through Azurin-Based Junctions [PDF]
We conducted a theoretical study into electron transport through junctions of the blue-copper azurin from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We found that single-site hopping can lead to either higher or lower current values compared to fully-coherent transport ...

APOE expression and secretion are modulated by mitochondrial dysfunction
Mitochondria influence cellular function through both cell-autonomous and non-cell autonomous mechanisms, such as production of paracrine and endocrine factors.

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,

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 ...

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).

A biophysical model of the mitochondrial respiratory system and oxidative phosphorylation. [PDF]
A computational model for the mitochondrial respiratory chain that appropriately balances mass, charge, and free energy transduction is introduced and analyzed based on a previously published set of data measured on isolated cardiac mitochondria.

Male and Female Mitochondria Respond Differently after Exercising in Acute Hypoxia
The use of hypoxic devices among athletes who train in normobaric hypoxia has become increasingly popular; however, the acute effects on heart and brain metabolism are not yet fully understood.
