Mitochondrial proton and electron leaks.
Mitochondrial proton and electron leak have a major impact on mitochondrial coupling efficiency and production of reactive oxygen species. In the first part of this chapter, we address the molecular nature of the basal and inducible proton leak pathways, and their physiological importance. The basal leak is unregulated, and a major proportion can be attributed to mitochondrial anion carriers, w...
متن کاملLipophilic Triphenylphosphonium Cations Inhibit Mitochondrial Electron Transport Chain and Induce Mitochondrial Proton Leak
BACKGROUND The lipophilic positively charged moiety of triphenylphosphonium (TPP+) has been used to target a range of biologically active compounds including antioxidants, spin-traps and other probes into mitochondria. The moiety itself, while often considered biologically inert, appears to influence mitochondrial metabolism. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We used the Seahorse XF flux analyze...
متن کاملStructural Investigation, Proton and Electron Affinities, Gas Phase Basicities, and Ionization Energies of Captopril
Captopril is one of the most significant angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. In spite of numerous experimental and computational studies on its properties, not enough geometrical and thermodynamic data is available on this compound. So, this study aimed to investigate the structural properties and assignment of possible conformers of captopril in the gas-phase. To this end, 1152 unique tr...
متن کاملElectron , Proton and Related Transfers
In the early days of electron transfer one text which I found particularly helpful was Robinson and Stokes, Electrolyte Solutions.' It provided an overview, as well as a detailed and current picture of electrolyte solutions, to one newly arrived in the field. It is a real pleasure to acknowledge in this Memorial Lecture my debt to Professor Robinson. In the intervening years a number of Faraday...
متن کاملProton-coupled electron transfer.
Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) is an important mechanism for charge transfer in a wide variety of systems including biology- and materials-oriented venues. We review several areas where the transfer of an electron and proton is tightly coupled and discuss model systems that can provide an experimental basis for a test of PCET theory. In a PCET reaction, the electron and proton may tran...
