Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Respiratory chains in mitochondrial and bacterial membrane transfer hydrogen ions (protons) by using energy released from the redox reaction (electron transfer), and efficiently generates energy available for the life. To understand the energy transduction mechanism, I studied molecular structure and function of the respiratory terminal enzymes. The results showed that structural property of the catalytic site and the proton transfer pathway, and functional property of the electron transfer between the enzyme and its electron donor.
