Cytochrome bc(1) complex catalyzes the reaction of electron transfer from ubiquinol to cytochrome c (or cytochrome c(2)) and couples this reaction to proton translocation across the membrane. Crystallization of the Rhodobacter sphaeroides bc(1) complex resulted in crystals containing only three core subunits. To mitigate the problem of subunit IV being dissociated from the three-subunit core complex during crystallization, we recently engineered an R. sphaeroides mutant in which the N-terminus o ...[more]
