Abstract
- Chemiosmotic energy transduction to ATP synthesis is the most basic process in life form. Throughout the prokaryotic membranes or mitochondrial inner membranes, energy-transducing protein complexes help transform the chemical energy from the cells metabolic intake into various useful forms of energy for the cell. Some of these complexes couple reduction-oxidation (redox) reactions to transporting and establishing chemiosmotic gradient across the membrane to drive otherwise energetically unfavorable process such as ATP synthesis and assorted transporters of other ions and/or molecules. Complex I is the most well known energy transducing enzyme that consists of 14 enzymes in bacteria, transferring electrons from NADH through a complex chain to quinones which process pumps protons across membrane and then generate proton coupled electrical membrane potential. Complex I is an example of the modular structure composed of electron donor/transfer module, connecting module, and intrinsic membrane module in Escherichia coli, has been also thought to have close relationship with Group 4 hydrogenases. The group 4 hydrogenases that widely distributed among bacteria and archaea, have been recognized as a energy converting enzyme composed in modular structure as well as the key enzyme in hydrogen production. Of particular, Mbh hydrogenase from Pyrococcus furiosus which catalyzes the reduction of H+ with electrons derived from ree cells metabolic intake into various useful forms of energy for the cell.
