A reductant-induced oxidation mechanism for complex I.
A model for energy conversion in Complex I is proposed that is a conservative expansion of Mitchell's Q-cycle using a simple mechanistic variation of that already established experimentally for Complex III. The model accommodates the following proposals. (1) The large number of flavin and iron-sulfur redox cofactors integral to Complex I form a simple but long electron transfer chain guiding su...
متن کاملC3N4-H5PMo10V2O40: a dual-catalysis system for reductant-free aerobic oxidation of benzene to phenol
Hydroxylation of benzene is a widely studied atom economical and environmental benign reaction for producing phenol, aiming to replace the existing three-step cumene process. Aerobic oxidation of benzene with O2 is an ideal and dream process, but benzene and O2 are so inert that current systems either require expensive noble metal catalysts or wasteful sacrificial reducing agents; otherwise, ph...
متن کاملMitochondrial complex I inhibition as a possible mechanism of chlorpyrifos induced neurotoxicity
BACKGROUND Organophosphates (OPs) represent the most widely used class of pesticides. Although perceived as low toxicity compounds compared to the previous organochlorines, they still possess neurotoxic effects both on acute and delayed levels. Delayed neurotoxic effects of OPs include OPIDN and OPICN. The mechanisms of these delayed effects have not been totally unraveled yet. One possible con...
متن کاملOxidation mechanism of diethyl ether: a complex process for a simple molecule.
A large number of organic compounds, such as ethers, spontaneously form unstable peroxides through a self-propagating process of autoxidation (peroxidation). Although the hazards of organic peroxides are well known, the oxidation mechanisms of peroxidizable compounds like ethers reported in the literature are vague and often based on old experiments, carried out in very different conditions (e....
متن کاملReduction of Brain Mitochondrial β-Oxidation Impairs Complex I and V in Chronic Alcohol Intake: The Underlying Mechanism for Neurodegeneration
Neuropathy and neurocognitive deficits are common among chronic alcohol users, which are believed to be associated with mitochondrial dysfunction in the brain. The specific type of brain mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes (mRCC) that are adversely affected by alcohol abuse has not been studied. Thus, we examined the alterations of mRCC in freshly isolated mitochondria from mice brain tha...
