Abstract excerpt
Complex I is the largest of the mitochondrial respiratory chain proteins, and contains subunits encoded by both mitochondrial and nuclear genomes. Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy has been clearly linked to mutations of mitochondrial DNA complex I genes, and variable complex I functional defects have been reported. We have confirmed an approximate 60% defect in mitochondrial NADH CoQ1 reductase activity in...
