Crystal structure of bovine heart cytochrome c oxidase at 2.8 A resolution.

abstract：:Plasma membrane vesicles of HeLa cells are characterized by a drug-responsive oxidation of NADH. The NADH oxidation takes place in an argon or nitrogen atmosphere and in samples purged of oxygen. Direct assay of protein thiols by reaction with 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB; Ellman's reagent), suggests tha...
