In vitro characterization of mitochondrial function and structure in rat and human cells with a deficiency of the NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase Ndufc2 subunit [PDF]
Ndufc2, a subunit of the NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase, plays a key role in the assembly and activity of complex I within the mitochondrial OXPHOS chain. Its deficiency has been shown to be involved in diabetes, cancer and stroke.

There is an urgent need for the discovery of new antileishmanial drugs with a new mechanism of action. Type 2 NADH dehydrogenase from Leishmania infantum (LiNDH2) is an enzyme of the parasite’s respiratory system, which catalyzes the electron transfer ...

Determination of the urinary aglycone metabolites of vitamin K by HPLC with redox-mode electrochemical detection [PDF]
We describe a method for the determination of the two major urinary metabolites of vitamin K as the methyl esters of their agyclone structures, 2-methyl-3-(3-3-carboxymethylpropyl)-1,4-naphthoquinone (5C-side-chain metabolite) and 2-methyl-3-(5-carboxy-3-

ABSTRACT Isolated complex I deficiency (ICD) is commonly associated with mitochondrial diseases and closely mimics subacute necrotising encephalomyelopathy. This disorder is characterised by metabolic perturbations that affect energy metabolism pathways, including fatty acid metabolism.

Genomic analysis of the human gut microbiome suggests novel enzymes involved in quinone biosynthesis
Ubiquinone and menaquinone are membrane lipid-soluble carriers of electrons that are essential for cellular respiration. Eukaryotic cells can synthesize ubiquinone but not menaquinone, whereas prokaryotes can synthesize both quinones. So far, most of the

Cytochrome c: Surfing Off of the Mitochondrial Membrane on the Tops of Complexes III and IV [PDF]
The proper arrangement of protein components within the respiratory electron transport chain is nowadays a matter of intense debate, since altering it leads to cell aging and other related pathologies.

Proteomic Insight Into Alzheimer's Disease Pathogenesis Pathways
ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a leading cause of dementia, but the pathogenesis mechanism is still elusive. Advances in proteomics have uncovered key molecular mechanisms underlying AD, revealing a complex network of dysregulated pathways, including amyloid metabolism, tau pathology, apolipoprotein E (APOE), protein degradation ...
