Journal ArticleDOI
Lipids in membrane protein structures.
Hildur Palsdottir,Carola Hunte +1 more
TL;DR: Based on analysis of lipids with refined head groups in membrane protein structures, distinct motifs were identified for stabilizing interactions between the phosphodiester moieties and side chains of amino acid residues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protonmotive pathways and mechanisms in the cytochrome bc1 complex
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss pathways for proton conduction linked to ubiquinone redox reactions with particular reference to recently determined structures of the yeast bc(1) complex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure of the yeast cytochrome bc1 complex with a hydroxyquinone anion Qo site inhibitor bound
TL;DR: The observed hydrogen bonding pattern provides experimental evidence for the previously proposed proton exit pathway involving the heme propionate and a chain of water molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular basis for atovaquone binding to the cytochrome bc1 complex.

TL;DR: Results indicate that atovaquone binds to the ubiquinol oxidation pocket of the bc1 complex, where it interacts with the Rieske iron-sulfur protein.
Journal ArticleDOI
Redox-linked protonation state changes in cytochrome bc1 identified by Poisson-Boltzmann electrostatics calculations
TL;DR: The results indicate that both conformational and protonation state changes of Glu272 of cytochrome b may contribute to the postulated gating of CoQ oxidation.
