BBA Bioenergetics covers the area of biological membranes involved in energy transfer and conversion. In particular, it focuses on the structures obtained by X-ray crystallography and other approaches, and molecular mechanisms of the components of photosynthesis, mitochondrial and bacterial respiration, oxidative phosphorylation, motility and transport. It spans applications of structural biology, molecular modeling, spectroscopy and biophysics in these systems, through bioenergetic aspects of mitochondrial biology including biomedicine aspects of energy metabolism in mitochondrial disorders, neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, aging, diabetes and even cancer.

Recently developed molecular wire technology takes advantage of [4Fe-4S] clusters that are ligated by at least one surface exposed Cys residue. Mutagenesis of this Cys residue to a Gly opens an exchangeable coordination site to a corner iron atom that can be chemically rescued by an external thiolate ligand. This ligand can be subsequently displaced by mass action using a dithiol molecular wire to...

The present work reports reactions of plastoquinol (PQH2-9) and plastoquinone (PQ-9) in organic solvents and summarizes the literature to understand similar reactions in thylakoids. In thylakoids, PQH2-9 is oxidized by the cytochrome b6/f complex (Cyt b6/f) but some PQH2-9 is also oxidized by reactions in which oxygen acts as an electron acceptor and is converted to reactive oxygen species (ROS)....
