Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli succinate dehydrogenase (SdhCDAB) catalyzes the oxidation of succinate to fumarate in the Krebs cycle, and during turnover, it produces superoxide radicals. SdhCDAB is a good model system for the succinate dehydrogenase (Sdh) found in the mitochondrial respiratory chain (complex II), as the subunits are structural homologues. Although mutations in sdh genes are reportedly associated with a...
