  1. 1. Energy Transduction and Sensory Signalling in Haloarchaea Structural Characterisation of the Photocycles of Bacteriorhodopsin and Sensory Rhodopsin II

    Författare :Karl Edman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; kinetic crystallography; proton pumping; Haloarchaea; structural mechanism; bacteriorhodopsin; sensory signalling; sensory rhodopsinII; retinal proteins;

    Sammanfattning : Archaeal rhodopsins belong a subfamily of heptahelical transmembrane proteins. All contain a buried retinal chromophore covalently bound to a conserved lysine residue in helix G via a protonated Schiff base. LÄS MER

  3. 2. The proton pumping inorganic pyrophosphatase from Rhodospirillum rubrum

    Författare :Pål Nyrén; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of the present investigation was to study the mechanism by which light-energy is transformed to biologically useful chemical-energy in the form of inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi). The study was performed on chromatophores (subcellular membrane structures) from the photosynthetic nonsulphur bacterium Rhodospiri Hum rubrum. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Proton, Electron, and O2 transfer in Cytochrome c Oxidase

    Författare :Lina Salomonsson; Peter Brzezinski; Marilyn Gunner; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cytochrome c oxidase; electron transfer; proton transfer; proton pumping; kinetic isotope effect; Biochemistry; Biokemi;

    Sammanfattning : In mitochondria and aerobic bacteria energy conservation involves electron transfer through the membrane-bound protein of the respiratory chain to oxygen. Cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) catalyzes the reduction of oxygen to water. Part of the energy released in this reaction is used to pump protons across the membrane. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Structure and Function of Cytochrome c Oxidase

    Författare :Gisela Brändén; Peter Brzezinski; Mårten Wikström; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cytochrome c oxidase; proton pumping; proton transfer; electron transfer; X-ray crystallography; flow flash; Biochemistry; Biokemi;

    Sammanfattning : Aerobic organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans, obtain their energy through the process of respiration. Electrons from the breakdown of food are transported through the membrane-bound enzyme complexes of the respiratory chain, to the terminal acceptor molecule, oxygen. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Choreography of a proton pump : Studies of charge-transfer reactions in cytochrome c oxidase

    Författare :Jóhanna Vilhjálmsdóttir; Peter Brzezinski; Joachim Heberle; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; heme-copper oxidase; cytochrome c oxidase; respiration; proton pump; electron transfer; proton transfer; proton-transfer pathway; midpoint potential; proton-pumping mechanism; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Sammanfattning : In the last step of cellular respiration, electrons from metabolites are transferred to molecular oxygen, mediated by the enzyme complexes of the respiratory chain. Some of these enzyme complexes couple these redox reactions to formation of an electrochemical proton gradient across the cell membrane. The proton gradient is used e.g. LÄS MER
