Dear all,
Complex I is the first enzyme of the respiratory chain and plays a key
role in cellular energy production. You can interactively explore the
structure of this important enzyme in our latest Quips article at:
http://pdbe.org/quips?story=CXI
For the first time the crystal structure of the entire, intact complex I
has been determined. The structure reveals the organization of its 16
different subunits and provides clues as to how this enzyme works.

This Quips article was developed in collaboration with Leo Sazanov at
the MRC Mitochondrial Biology Unit, Cambridge. If you have an
interesting structure whose story you would like to tell (with our help)
in the form of a Quips article, please contact us at [log in to unmask]
Best Wishes,
Gary.
