Abstract excerpt
The apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) is a mitochondrial-flavoprotein that, after cell death induction, is distributed to the nucleus to mediate chromatinolysis. In mitochondria, AIF is present in a monomer-dimer equilibrium that after reduction by NADH gets displaced toward the dimer. The crystal...
