1. Cytochrome c biogenesis in Bacillus subtilis. Identification and analysis of ccdA
Abstract : Cytochromes function in electron transfer reactions, e.g. in respiratory systems, and contain haem as a prosthetic group. Cytochromes of the c-type differ from other cytochromes in that haem is covalently attached, via thioether linkages, to two cysteine residues in a conserved sequence motif in the protein, Cys-Xaa-Yaa-Cys-His.

2. 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

3. Studies on Haemproteins of Gram-positive Bacteria - Implications as Antibacterial Drug Targets
Abstract : With the discovery of antibiotics, several diseases that were previously lethal is today readily cured, or so we thought. Some degree of resistance to one or several antibiotics can be found among many strains of clinical important bacteria. READ MORE

4. Biogenesis and assembly of the mammalian mitochondrial inner membrane
Abstract : The aims of this investigation were to study the synthesis and assembly of mammalian mitochondrial inner membrane with emphasis on cytochrome c oxidase. Model systems utilizing rat hepatocytes and digitonin-treated hepatocytes were established for use in the investigation of mitochondrial protein synthesis in mammalian cells. READ MORE

5. 2nd and 3rd generation electrodes for biosensors and biofuel cells
Abstract : The catalytic and electrochemical properties of tryptophan repressor-binding protein (WrbA), pyranose dehydrogenase (PDH), cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) and glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) on carbon electrodes were investigated using cyclic voltammetry and flow injection amperometry to construct biosensors and biofuel cell (BFC) anodes. WrbA has a catalytic FMN-containing domain whereas both PDH and GDH have a catalytic FAD-containing domains. READ MORE
