1. Gene description, activity quantification and physiological responses of mitochondrial alternative NAD(P)H dehydrogenases
Abstract : In addition to proton-pumping complex I, the plant respiratory chain contains type II NAD(P)H dehydrogenases. These extra enzymes do not pump protons and consequently do not contribute to the electrochemical proton gradient. READ MORE

2. Pulsatile insulin release from single islets of Langerhans
Abstract : Insulin release from single islets of Langerhans is pulsatile. The secretory activities of the islets in the pancreas are coordinated resulting in plasma insulin oscillations. Nutrients amplitude-regulate the insulin pulses without influencing their frequency. READ MORE

3. The plant respiratory chain: Redox responses and catalytic definition of alternative pathways
Abstract : The respiratory chain of plants contains both proton-pumping enzymes that conserve energy and non-proton-pumping alternative enzymes that bypass the sites of energy conservation. In addition to the proton-pumping complex I, plant mitochondria contain alternative type II NAD(P)H dehydrogenases, which allow oxidation of NADH and NADPH from the matrix and the cytosol. READ MORE

4. Identification and functional characterization of novel thioredoxin systems
Abstract : Thioredoxins (Trx) are a class of small multifunctional 12-kDa proteins that are characterized by the redox active site Trp-Cys-Gly-Pro-Cys (WCGPC). In the oxidized (inactive) form of Trx (Trx-S2), the two cysteines at the active site form a disulfide bond. READ MORE

5. Protonmotive coupling of energy conversion processes in photosyntetic bacteria : studies on membrane energization and photophosphorylation capacity
Abstract : This work is a study on the membrane-bound inorganic pyrophosphatase and other energylinkedenzymes in the chromatophores from the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodospirillum rubrum.The membrane-bound inorganic pyrophosphatase is functionally similar to the well-known FiF0-ATP synthase.
