16. Significance of mitochondrial ultrastructure for bioenergetics
Abstract : Mitochondria are the site where most of the energy from food is converted into adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This process is taking place at the inner membrane (IM) of mitochondria, and is called oxidative phosphorylation, and results in the establishment of a proton motive force (pmf). READ MORE

17. Biogenesis of the bc1 complex in mitochondria
Abstract : Mitochondria perform a variety of tasks, but the function they are most prominent for is the energy conversion to form ATP, the universal energy equivalent of the cell. The majority of this ATP is created by the oxidative phosphorylation system, consisting of the respiratory chain and the ATP synthase. READ MORE

18. Labeling, tagging and charging - Long standing issues in bioenergetics addressed with novel techniques
Abstract : Understanding the molecular details of bioenergetic processes is fundamentally important. Defects in the mitochondrial energy metabolism can lead to untimely apoptosis and thus cause serious degenerative human diseases. READ MORE

19. Mitochondrial dysfunction and the metabolism - studies on respiratory chain disorders
Abstract : Background: Mutations of the mitochondrial assembly factor BCS1L disrupt assembly and function of the respiratory chain complex III (CIII) and thereby result in energy deprivation. In GRACILE syndrome, the BCS1L mutation causes a liver disorder that leads to metabolic disturbances associated with severe growth restriction. READ MORE

20. The evolution of respiratory chain complex I from smaller functional modules
Abstract : NADH:quinone oxidoreductase, or complex I, is a large membrane bound enzyme in the respiratory chain of living organisms, that has evolved from the combination of smaller functional building blocks. The enzyme has a conserved core structure, comprising 14 protein subunits: Seven subunits protrude from the membrane and contain a flavin and eight iron-sulfur clusters. READ MORE
