Abstract excerpt
Seven out of the 13 proteins encoded by the mitochondrial genome of mammals (peptides ND1 to ND6 plus ND4L) are subunits of the respiratory NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I). The function of these ND subunits is still poorly understood. We have used the NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase of Rhodobacter capsulatus as a model for the study of the function of these proteins. In this bacterium, the 14 genes...
