Comparative phylogenetic exploration of the human mitochondrial proteome: Insights into disease and metabolism
(2019-02-23)Mitochondria are a key organelle within human cells, with functions ranging from ATP synthesis to apoptosis. Changes in mitochondrial function are associated with many diseases, as well as ‘natural’ processes like ageing. ... -
Developing mouse complex I as a model system: structure, function and implications in mitochondrial diseases.
(2018-10-20)Complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase), located in the mitochondrial inner membrane, is a major electron entry point to the respiratory chain. It couples the energy released from electron transfer (from NADH to ubiquinone) ... -
Chronic Supplementation With a Mitochondrial Antioxidant (MitoQ) Improves Vascular Function in Healthy Older Adults.
(Wolters Kluwer Health, 2018-06)Excess reactive oxygen species production by mitochondria is a key mechanism of age-related vascular dysfunction. Our laboratory has shown that supplementation with the mitochondrial-targeted antioxidant MitoQ improves ... -
Respiratory Complex I in Bos taurus and Paracoccus denitrificans Pumps Four Protons across the Membrane for Every NADH Oxidized.
(2017-03)Respiratory complex I couples electron transfer between NADH and ubiquinone to proton translocation across an energy-transducing membrane to support the proton-motive force that drives ATP synthesis. The proton-pumping ...
