Abstract excerpt
The homodimeric bc(1) complexes are membrane proteins essential in respiration and photosynthesis. The ~11Å distance between the two b(L)-hemes of the dimer opens the possibility of electron transfer between them, but contradictory reports make such inter-monomer electron transfer controversial. We have constructed in Rhodobacter sphaeroides a heterodimeric expression system similar to those used before, in which...
