Abstract excerpt
Piericidin is a potent inhibitor of the mitochondrial and bacterial type I NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductases (Complex I) and is considered to bind at or close to the ubiquinone binding site(s) of the enzyme. Piericidin-resistant mutants of the bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus have been isolated and...
