摘要
Ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase of beef heart mitochondria was crystallized in the presence of decanoyl-N-methylglucamide, heptanetriol, and sodium chloride with poly(ethylene glycol) as precipitant. The largest crystal has dimensions of 4 X 2 X 1 mm. The crystalline enzyme is composed of 10 subunits. It contains 2.5 nmol of ubiquinone, 8.4 nmol of cytochrome b, 4.2 nmol of cytochrome c1, 4.2 nmol of iron-sulfur cluster, and 140 nmol of phospholipid per milligram of protein. Of the last, 36% is with diphosphatidylglycerol. The crystals are very stable in the cold and show full enzymatic activity when redissolved in aqueous solution. Absorption spectra of the redissolved crystals show a Soret to UV ratio of 0.88 and 1.01 in the oxidized and the reduced forms, respectively.
