In this work, we report the electrochemical response of a family Co(II) complexes, [CoII(L)3]2+ and [CoII(L’)2]2+ (L = 2,2’-bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline, 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, 5,6-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline; L’ terpyridine 4-chloro-terpyridine), in presence absence CO2 order to understand role redox potential molecular structure on catal...

Turbot ( Scophthalmus maximus L., 1758) is a valuable commercial fish species classified as endangered. The conservation and sustainability of the turbot populations require knowledge population’s genetic structure constant monitoring its biodiversity. present study was performed to evaluate population along Bulgarian Black Sea coast using seven pairs microsatellites, two mitochondrial DNA (COI...

By employing the HSAB principle and “assisted self-assembly” approach using 2-pyridylaldoximate (pao−) as primary ligand pivalate (piv−) ancillary co-ligand, tetranuclear [CoIII2LnIII2(NO3)4(pao)4(piv)4] complex polynuclear compounds were isolated (Ln = Dy, Gd, Tb, Pr, Y). The structure of Dy(III) was determined via single-crystal X-ray crystallography, revealing a metal topology two {CoIIIDyII...

We report on a novel frameshift mutation in the mtDNA gene encoding cytochrome c oxidase (COX) subunit III. The proband is an 11-year-old girl with a negative family history and an apparently healthy younger brother. Since 4 years of age, she has developed a progressive spastic paraparesis associated with ophthalmoparesis and moderate mental retardation. The presence of severe lactic acidosis a...

Mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNAs) has been frequently used as genetic markers for the population genetic studies. In this study we used chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) from Korea, Japan andAmerica, and compared their mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 3 (ND3) genes by DNA sequence analysis. Sequence variation was studied in the ND3 among total 11 individuals from three populations. The ND3 gene...

I n general, the clinical course of patients suffering from different types of mtDNA mediated neurodegenerative disorders progresses with age. The clinical progression of muscle weakness has been reported to correlate with an increase in cytochrome c oxidase (COX) negative fibres or with an increase of mutant mtDNA in skeletal muscle. In a recent issue we reported on a patient with mitochondria...
