Respiratory complex II couples succinate oxidation to quinone reduction in the electron transport chain. In succinate oxidation, a FAD molecule is reduced and, then, electrons are passed through three iron-sulfur clusters to reduce a quinone. The mechanism of succinate oxidation to fumarate has been the subject of study in the candidate masters degree. Here, we propose to extend the compl…
Under normal conditions, aerobic organisms oxidize succinate to fumarate in the mitochondrial complex II, while anaerobic organisms, which use fumarate as the final electron acceptor of their catabolic pathways, catalyze the reverse reaction. Quinol:fumarate reductase (QFR) is the enzyme responsible for catalyzing the reaction in these anaerobic organisms. Even though aerobic organisms do…
The production of second-generation ethanol (2GE) can be a viable alternative for the current energetic crisis because it is a renewable source and uses residues of lignocellulosic biomass as raw material. However, the cost of 2GE is relatively high, and the value of enzymatic preparations used in the hydrolytic process contributes to increase it. The rational development of enzymatic coc…
