Integration of Mitochondrial Function
In aerobic tissues such as heart, brain, kidney, liver and brown fat, mitochon dria account for more than 20% of cell protein and play an essential role in res piration, ATP formation, ketogenesis, gluconeogenesis, amino acid metabolism, ureagenesis, thermogenesis and a variety of other metabolic activities. The mecha nisms by which these activities are integrated and regulated within the overall context of cellular physiology is of much current research interest. In order to bring together scientists examining the various diverse aspects of this overall pro blem, an International Conference on INTEGRATION OF MITOCHONDRIAL FUNC TION was held June 4-7, 1987 at the Hanes Art Center on the campus of the Uni versity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The chapters of this volume derive from presentations made at this conference. The focus of INTEGRATION OF MITOCHONDRIAL FUNCTION is on signifi cant new experimental and theoretical advances concerning integration of mito chondrial function at the organelle, cell, tissue and whole organism levels of organization.
Structure of Biological Membranes
Since 1965 the Nobel Foundation sponsors, through grants from the Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Fund, Sym posia on subjects which are considered to be of central scientific importance and for which new results of a special interest have been reached. The aim of these Symposia is to bring together, by personal invitation, a limited number of leading scientists from various countries to discuss the current research situation within the field and to define the most urgent problems to be solved. One of the most important fields in modern biome dical research concerns the structure and function of biological membranes. Research on this subject is very active and important scientific contributions a...
Advances in Membrane Biochemistry and Bioenergetics
This book is formulated from the papers presented at the International Symposium on "Membrane Biochemistry and Bioenergetics," held at the Rensselaerville Institute, Rensselaerville, New York, August 1986, in honor of Tsoo E. King on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of reconstitution of arespiratory chain system by Professor David Keilin and Tsoo E. King. Professor Tsoo E. King, to whom this volume is dedicated, has made enormous contributions to the field of isolation and reconstitution of membrane proteins and has continued to explore the frontiers of bioener getics. In particular, his persistent proposals on the existence of ubiquinone binding proteins from conceptualization to experi...
Alcohol and Aldehyde Metabolizing Systems-IV
The papers in this book represent the proceedings of the Third International Symposium, which was held at the Addiction Research Foundation in Toronto in July, 1979. The purpose of this meeting was to bring together experts in the field from a wide variety of backgrounds in an attempt to gain some clarity and insight into the problems of alcohol and aldehyde metabolism. One might ask, "Why have such a meeting and a collection of research papers?" The answer is clear. The societal problem of alcoholism is, unlike many other health problems, growing instead of abating. Treatment efforts are largely ineffective (e.g., Griffith Edwards' classic work)', and fundamental research has yet to identif...
Current Topics in Bioenergetics
Current Topics in Bioenergetics, Volume 13 presents the biophysical and biochemical approaches that are valuable in some systems and that may be readily be applied to others. This book discusses the function and structure relationship of energy-transducing membranes that has played an essential role in the progress and development in the field of bioenergetics. Organized into six chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the bioenergetics processes that require a molecular description of the structure and reaction mechanisms of the individual energy-transducing catalysts. This text then provides an understanding to the methodology for initiation of an electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) investigation in this field of research. This book discusses as well the developments in spin label EPR techniques. The final chapter deals with immunological techniques that are used for studying the biochemistry and molecular biology of membrane proteins. This book is a valuable resource for physiologists, biologists, and biochemists.
Biochemistry of Membrane Transport
This volume contains the proceedings of the FEBS Sym posium on the Biochemistry of Membrane Transport, which was held at the Swiss Institute of Technology, Zlirich, July 18-23, 1976. Of the speakers invited or iginally, only five could not attend the meeting, and of the lectures given, all but one of the texts are published here. Thus, this volume gives a faithful ac count of the way the meeting was originally conceived and actually took place. This Symposium on Biochemistry of Membrane Transport was the first Symposium sponsored by the FEBS outside the yearly FEBS-Meetings, after the Special Meeting on Industrial Biochemistry, which took place in Dublin in 1973, and it reflects the interest...
Mechanisms in Bioenergetics
Mechanisms in Bioenergetics covers the proceedings of the eighth conference on ""Mechanisms in Bioenergetics"" held in Pugnochiuso, Italy on May 1-4, 1972. This book is organized into three parts, encompassing 43 chapters that discuss bioenergetics in mitochondria, chloroplasts, chromatophores, and bacterial protoplast membranes. It summarizes the structure and dynamics of energy-transducing membranes, molecular basis of membrane transport, and energy coupling mechanisms. The first part of the book describes various aspects of structure and dynamics of energy transducing membranes. This includes their chemiosmotic coupling, reflection coefficients, structural transformation, redox properties...
The Fourth Conference of the International Coenzyme Q10 Association
Focusing on coenzyme Q, this book includes topics spanning from biochemical aspects to biomedical implications and clinical use of CoQ10. It addresses the antioxidant aspects as well as the non-mitochondrial electron transport systems, and investigates coenzyme Q biosynthesis in yeast and in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Function of Quinones in Energy Conserving Systems
Function of Quinones in Energy Conserving Systems covers the vast amount of research on the unique function of quinones in electron transfer and energy conserving systems. This book is organized into seven parts encompassing 39 chapters that focus on the quinone-protein interactions. The opening part discusses the progression and status of research on ubiquinone proteins in mitochondria. This topic is followed by discussions on the electrochemical and spectral properties of quinones and semiquinones, as well as on a model for quinone-cytochrome electron-transfer reactions, with an emphasis on the derived kinetic advantages from altering the ubiquinol ionizability. The third part describes th...
