Does catechol inhibit FADH2-linked respiration in rat liver mitochondrial fraction?
Catechol produced an inhibition of basal respiration associated to FADH2 in isolated liver mitochondria that could lead to cytotoxicity, ROS generation and cell death.
Using two different approaches involving comparative sequence analyses, we could identify sequences from the early-diverging fungus B. emersonii previously considered specific to animals or plants, and highly divergent sequences from the same fungus relative to other fungi.
