Abstract excerpt
To elucidate the mechanism of bifurcated oxidation of quinol in the cytochrome bc1 complex, Rhodobacter sphaeroides mutants, H198N and H111N, lacking heme bL and heme bH, respectively, were constructed and characterized. Purified mutant complexes have the same subunit composition as that of the wild-type complex, but have only 9-11% of the electron transfer activity, which is sensitive to stigmatellin or...
