the ndh gene coding for respiratory NADH dehydrogenase II
The ndh gene coding for respiratory NADH dehydrogenase II/cupric reductase
Description
ndh is the coding gene for NADH dehydrogenase II, a non-proton-translating single subunit membrane bond enzyme important in maintaining a redox-balanced dinucleotide pool. NADH dehydrogenase II is the preponderant respiratory source of H2O2 as well as O2-. In fact, substantial H2O2 was formed when quinoneless vesicles containing only NADH dehydrogenase II were incubated with NADH. Earlier studies estimated that the formation rate of intracellular O2- was about 10-5 M S-1 by extrapolation of O2- yield from this enzyme. And NADH dehydrogenase II formed about 4 O2- per 10 molecules of H2O2 both during respiration and in the quinoneless membranes.
