1. Structure and Function of Cytochrome c Oxidase
Abstract : Aerobic organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans, obtain their energy through the process of respiration. Electrons from the breakdown of food are transported through the membrane-bound enzyme complexes of the respiratory chain, to the terminal acceptor molecule, oxygen. READ MORE

2. Quantum Chemical Interpretation of Protein Crystal Structure
Abstract : An initial model in the crystallographic structure determination process, usually contains many errors. To produce an accurate model, one must carry out several cycles of crystallographic refinement. READ MORE

3. Structure and function of cytochrome c peroxidase
Abstract : The crystallographic structure of cytochrome c peroxidase is analyzed together with its behavior in the X-ray beam and crystallization experiments. The structure of the iron free form of the enzyme is compared with the native enzyme in the active site region. A catalytic mechanism, based on this comparison is then proposed for the enzyme.

4. Structure and Biogenesis of Membrane Proteins
Abstract : Membrane proteins make up about one-third of the cellular proteome. The diverse roles that membrane proteins have in cells include major life-sustaining processes, making them major drug targets. READ MORE

5. Structural Plasticity and Function in Cytochrome cd1 Nitrite Reductase
Abstract : Cytochrome cd1 nitrite reductase is a bifunctional enzyme, which catalyses the one-electron reduction of nitrite to nitric oxide, and the four-electron reduction of oxygen to water. The latter is a cytochrome oxidase reaction. Both reactions occur on the d1 haem iron of the enzyme. READ MORE
