The Supercomplexes in the Crista Membrane01:41

The Supercomplexes in the Crista Membrane

3.1K
The mitochondrial cristae membrane is the primary site for the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) process of energy conversion mediated through respiratory complexes I to V. These complexes have been widely studied for decades, and it has been proven that they form supramolecular structures called respiratory supercomplexes (SC). These higher-order complexes may be crucial in maintaining the biochemical structure and improving the physiological activity of the individual complexes while...

Complexation Equilibria: Overview

1.6K
Complexation reactions take place when dative or coordinate covalent bonds form between metal ions and ligands. The compounds formed in these reactions are called coordination compounds. The number of bonds formed between the metal ion and the ligands is called its coordination number. Generally, most metal ions in an aqueous solution are solvated by water molecules and thus exist as aqua complexes.
The equilibrium constant of the complexation reaction is represented as the formation constant...

Complexation Equilibria: Factors Influencing Stability of Complexes01:09

Complexation Equilibria: Factors Influencing Stability of Complexes

904
In complexation reactions, metal cations are the electron pair acceptors, and the ligands are the electron pair donors. The stability of the metal complexes depends primarily on the complexing ability of the central metal ion and the nature of the ligands. Generally, the complexing ability of the metal ion depends on the size and charge of the ion. As the metal ion size increases, the stability of the metal complexes decreases, provided that the valency of the metal ion and the ligands remain...

Protein Complexes with Interchangeable Parts

3.0K
Groups of proteins may form a complex where each protein in this complex has a different role in the overall execution of the complex’s function. Often some of the proteins in the complex can be replaced by a closely related variant to give a complex that contains many of the same components yet is functionally distinct.
The SCF ubiquitin ligase is a protein complex of five individual proteins. This complex attaches ubiquitin to other target proteins to mark them for degradation. In order...

Ladder Diagrams: Complexation Equilibria

664
Ladder diagrams are useful for evaluating equilibria involving metal-ligand complexes. The vertical scale of the ladder diagram represents the concentration of unreacted or free ligand, pL. The horizontal lines on the scale depict the log of stepwise formation constants for metal-ligand complexes and indicate the dominant species in all the regions.
The formation constant, K1, for the formation of Cd(NH3)2+ complex from cadmium and ammonia is 3.55 × 102. Log K1 (i.e. pNH3) is 2.55, and...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Sleep Medicine
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder.
  • Distinguishing AD from healthy aging can be challenging.
  • Sleep disturbances are common in AD patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the diagnostic potential of electroencephalogram (EEG) K-complex frequency.
  • To determine if K-complex frequency differs between AD patients and healthy controls during non-REM sleep.

Main Methods:

  • EEG recordings during non-REM sleep in individuals with Alzheimer's disease and healthy older adults.
  • Analysis of K-complex waveform frequency in EEG signals.
  • Statistical comparison of K-complex frequency between groups.

Main Results:

  • A significantly reduced frequency of K-complex waveforms was observed in patients with Alzheimer's disease.
  • This reduction in K-complex frequency may serve as a distinguishing feature.

Conclusions:

  • Reduced K-complex frequency during non-REM sleep is a potential electrophysiological biomarker for Alzheimer's disease.
  • This finding could aid in differentiating AD patients from healthy older individuals.
