Popis: Many bacteria contain proton-translocating membrane-bound NADH-quinone oxidoreductases (NDH-1), which demonstrate significant genetic, spectral, and kinetic similarity with their mitochondrial counterparts. This review is devoted to the comparative aspects of the iron-sulfur cluster composition of NDH-1 from the most well-studied bacterial systems to date.: Paracoccus denitrificans, Rhodobacter sphaeroides, Escherichia coli, and Thermus thermophilus. These bacterial systems provide useful models for the study of coupling Site I and contain all the essential parts of the electron-transfer and proton-translocating machinery of their eukaryotic counterparts.
