Abstract excerpt
The molecular mechanism of the proton pump activity by the respiratory chain bc1 complex is still unknown. This group has proposed since long time that protonation/deprotonation events in the apoproteins of the complex are cooperatively linked to the oxido-reduction reactions at the quinone catalytic centre. Protolytic residues in the apoproteins can thus provide proton transfer pathways between the bulk aqueons...
