title = "Exploring substrate interaction in respiratory alternative complex III from Rhodothermus marinus",
abstract = "Rhodothermus marinus is a thermohalophilic organism that has optimized its microaerobic metabolism at 65 °C. We have been exploring its respiratory chain and observed the existence of a quinone:cytochrome c oxidoreductase complex, named Alternative Complex III, structurally different from the bc1 complex. In the present work, we took profit from nanodiscs and liposomes technology to investigate ACIII activity in membrane-mimicking systems. In addition, we studied the interaction of ACIII with menaquinone, its potential electron acceptors (HiPIP and cytochrome c) and the caa3 oxygen reductase.",
