Abstract excerpt
The destruction of the Rieske iron-sulfur cluster ([2Fe-2S]) in the bc(1) complex by hematoporphyrin-promoted photoinactivation resulted in the complex becoming proton-permeable. To study further the role of this [2Fe-2S] cluster in proton translocation of the bc(1) complex, Rhodobacter sphaeroides mutants expressing His-tagged cytochrome bc(1) complexes with mutations at the histidine ligands of the [2Fe-2S]...
