Abstract
The ability of succinate-cytochrome c reductase (SCR) reduced cytochrome c to scavenge H2O2 was investigated. H2O2, whether added or produced by SCR, was efficiently removed when cytochrome c was reduced by SCR. On the other hand, ferrocytochrome c underwent re-oxidization when H2O2 was added. Thus, these results indicate that cytochrome c reduced by succinate-cytochrome c reductase has the ability to regulate H2O2 in mitochondria.

Advancing the Understanding of Regulatory Mechanisms and Diseases Through Biochemistry and Structural Biology
Modern research is increasingly interested in understanding the regulatory mechanisms and diseases through various integrative approaches. Biochemistry and structural biology offer valuable atomic-level insights that help unravel the complexities of cellular regulatory mechanisms and their association with health and disease. The unique advantage of these fields is that they provide ...read more
Therapeutic Proteins and Peptides of Plant Origin
Plants are still the major repository of biologically active substances. In the last two decades, however, natural peptides and proteins of plant origin have gained increasing attention due to their pharmacological activities over a variety of human illnesses, including those mediated by infections and parasitosis and those involving different cellular ...read more
