Abstract
The release of cytochrome C into the cytoplasm after formation of a complex with mitochondrial phospholipids underlays the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis. Changes in the structure of cytochrome C complex active center depending on phosphatidic acid concentration and at different temperatures (25, 37, and 45°C) were studied. Changes in the active center structure were assessed by optical absorption at 695 nm and compared with the intensity of luminol-dependent chemiluminescence which is proportional to the peroxidase activity of cytochrome C-phosphatidic acid complex. It was found that increasing the temperature from 25 to 45°C leads to comparable changes in the conformation of cytochrome C active center and an increase in its peroxidase activity.
期刊介绍:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine presents original peer reviewed research papers and brief reports on priority new research results in physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, pharmacology, immunology, microbiology, genetics, oncology, etc. Novel trends in science are covered in new sections of the journal - Biogerontology and Human Ecology - that first appeared in 2005.
World scientific interest in stem cells prompted inclusion into Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine a quarterly scientific journal Cell Technologies in Biology and Medicine (a new Russian Academy of Medical Sciences publication since 2005). It publishes only original papers from the leading research institutions on molecular biology of stem and progenitor cells, stem cell as the basis of gene therapy, molecular language of cell-to-cell communication, cytokines, chemokines, growth and other factors, pilot projects on clinical use of stem and progenitor cells.
The Russian Volume Year is published in English from April.
