Abstract excerpt
Cytochrome bc(1) complex (complex III) and cytochrome c oxidase complex (complex IV) are multisubunit homodimers that are essential components of the mitochondrial respiratory chain.

Both homodimeric complexes contain tightly associated cardiolipin (CL) required for function. We report...
