Abstract excerpt
Complex I is a highly intricate membrane-bound protein complex that powers the cellular energy metabolism by a long-range ( > 300 Å) proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reaction. Here, we investigate the highly debated coupling mechanism of Complex I by probing the charge transfer reaction along its functionally central carboxylate pathway (E-channel). By combining biophysical and site-directed mutagenesis...
