Clues for innovative therapies targeting the c-ring of the F1FO-ATP synthase
Increasing evidence points out that the ATP synthase/hydrolase, also known as F1FO-complex, can be the key enzymatic switch between cell life and death. So, the enzyme complex, which bears the task of building most cellular ATP, the
Multiple tasks for the c-ring of the F1FO-ATP synthase
The F1FO-ATP synthase is the only enzyme in nature endowed with bi-functional catalytic mechanism of synthesis and hydrolysis of ATP. The enzyme complex is hosted in the inner mitochondrial membrane in eukaryotes and in the plasma-membrane in
New insights in how nitrite can be involved in cardioprotection
Nitrite, an inorganic ion which abundantly occurs in green leaves and other vegetables, is known to help to prevent and counteract cardiovascular diseases, but the mechanisms involved are still partially unclear. In the attempt to cast light
