Abstract
Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is a critical problem in liver transplantation that can lead to life-threatening complications and substantially limit the utilization of livers for transplantation. However, because there are no early diagnostics available, fulminant injury may only become evident post-transplant. Mitochondria play a central role in IRI and are an ideal diagnostic target. During ischemia, changes in the mitochondrial redox state form the first link in the chain of events that lead to IRI. In this study we used resonance Raman spectroscopy to provide a rapid, non-invasive, and label-free diagnostic for quantification of the hepatic mitochondrial redox status. We show this diagnostic can be used to significantly distinguish transplantable versus non-transplantable ischemically injured rat livers during oxygenated machine perfusion and demonstrate spatial differences in the response of mitochondrial redox to ischemia reperfusion. This novel diagnostic may be used in the future to predict the viability of human livers for transplantation and as a tool to better understand the mechanisms of hepatic IRI.

Responsive monitoring of mitochondrial redox states in heart muscle predicts impending cardiac arrest. Sci Transl Med 2018; 9:9/408/eaan0117.

Abstract
Assessing the adequacy of oxygen delivery to tissues is vital, particularly in the fields of intensive care medicine and surgery. As oxygen delivery to a cell becomes deficient, changes in mitochondrial redox state precede changes in cellular function. We describe a technique for the continuous monitoring of the mitochondrial redox state on the epicardial surface using resonance Raman spectroscopy. We quantify the reduced fraction of specific electron transport chain cytochromes, a metric we name the resonance Raman reduced mitochondrial ratio (3RMR). As oxygen deficiency worsens, heme moieties within the electron transport chain become progressively more reduced, leading to an increase in 3RMR. Myocardial 3RMR increased from baseline values of 18.1 ± 5.9 to 44.0 ± 16.9% (P = 0.0039) after inferior vena cava occlusion in rodents (n = 8). To demonstrate the diagnostic power of this measurement, 3RMR was continuously measured in rodents (n = 31) ventilated with 5 to 8% inspired oxygen for 30 min. A 3RMR value exceeding 40% at 10 min predicted subsequent cardiac arrest with 95% sensitivity and 100% specificity [area under the curve (AUC), 0.98], outperforming all current measures, including contractility (AUC, 0.51) and ejection fraction (AUC, 0.39). 3RMR correlated with indices of intracellular redox state and energy production. This technique may permit the real-time identification of critical defects in organ-specific oxygen delivery.

Abstract
Photodissociation of the fully reduced carbonmonoxy bound cytochrome aa3 from Rb. sphaeroides results in ultrafast ligand transfer between heme a3 and CuB, which is followed by thermal dissociation from CuB on longer time scales. We have utilized photoacoustic calorimetry to obtain a detailed thermodynamic description of the mechanism of ligand photodissociation and transfer between heme a3 and CuB. Subsequent to ligand photodissociation an additional process, which has not been characterized previously, was observed with the lifetime of 485 ns at 18 degrees C and is coupled to a volume expansion of 3.3 ml mol(-1). From the temperature dependence, an activation barrier of 4 kcal mol(-1) was determined. We attribute the observed 500 ns process to changes in CuB ligation subsequent to ligand translocation. In a photoacoustic study on CO photodissociation from bovine heart aa3 oxidase, no volume changes were observed on the ns timescale, indicating that a different mechanism may control ligand dissociation and binding within the binuclear center of the bacterial and bovine enzymes.

Abstract
Cytochome c oxidase is the terminal member of the electron transport chains of mitochondria and many bacteria. Providing an efficient mechanism for dioxygen reduction on the one hand, it also acts as a redox-linked proton pump, coupling the free energy of water formation to the generation of a transmembrane electrochemical gradient to eventually drive ATP synthesis. The overall complexity of the mitochondrial enzyme is also reflected by its subunit structure and assembly pathway, whereas the diversity of the bacterial enzymes has fostered the notion of a large family of heme-copper terminal oxidases. Moreover, the successful elucidation of 3-D structures for both the mitochondrial and several bacterial oxidases has greatly helped in designing mutagenesis approaches to study functional aspects in these enzymes.

Abstract
A new rapid procedure for the preparation of monodispersed highly active cytochrome-c oxidase from bovine heart is described. The crucial step is the separation of cytochrome-c oxidase from cytochrome-c reductase by selective solubilization in the non-ionic detergents Triton X-100 or lauryl beta-D-maltoside. The enzyme is purified by subsequent anion-exchange chromatography. The preparation is finished within two days yielding approximately 60% of the oxidase present in mitochondria. The enzyme has a heme alpha/protein ratio of 9.7 +/- 0.5 nmol/mg, approximately equal to the theoretical value of 9.77 nmol/mg based on a molecular mass of 204.696 kDa for the protein monomer. SDS/PAGE of the preparation reveals the presence of the well-known thirteen protein components. Quantitative Edman degradation of the enzyme exclusively releases the known ten N-terminal residues; three of the thirteen protein components are blocked at the N-terminus. The preparation is highly active with maximal turnover numbers of approximately 600 s-1, identical to the maximal activity found in the mitochondrial membrane under these conditions. No g = 12 signal and no adventitious copper signal are observed in the EPR spectrum. The enzyme exhibits a fast monophasic reaction with cyanide. Determination of the metal contents of the enzyme indicates the stoichiometric presence of three copper ions besides two iron, one magnesium and one zinc ion in relation to the 94 sulfur atoms of the protein monomer. Gel-filtration experiments show a monodispersed dimeric association to form a complex of approximately 500 kDa. The phosphorus content 44 +/- 6.8 atoms/dimer, results from 59% cardiolipin, 23% phosphatidylethanolamine and 18% phosphatidylcholine, indicating a stable lipid shell, different from other previously described preparations. Crystals have been obtained from these preparations and are investigated for their suitability for X-ray work.

Abstract
We present here the physicochemical and biochemical properties of NBD-DFO, the 7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD) derivative of the siderophore, desferrioxamine B (DFO) (Lytton et al., Mol. Pharmacol. 40, 584, 1991). Modification of DFO at its terminal amine renders it more lipophilic, imparts to it fluorescent properties, and is conservative of the high-affinity iron(III) binding capacity. NBD-DFO partitions readily from aqueous solution into n-octanol (Pcoeff = 5) and displays solvent-induced shifts in absorption and fluorescence spectra. The relative quantum yield of the probe's fluorescence increases over a 10-fold range with decreasing dielectric constant of the solvent. Fluorescence is quenched upon binding of iron(III) to the probe. We demonstrate here the application of NBD-DFO for the specific detection and monitoring of iron (III) in solutions and iron(III) mobilization from cells. Interactions between fluorescent siderophore and the ferriproteins ferritin and transferrin were monitored under physiological conditions. Iron removal from ferritin was evident by the demonstrable quenching of NBD-DFO fluorescence by scavenged iron(III). Quantitation of iron sequestered from cells by NBD-DFO or from other siderophore-iron(III) complexes was accomplished by dissociation of NBD-DFO-Fe complex by acidification and addition of excess ethylenediamin-etetraacetic acid. The sensitivity of the method and the iron specificity indicate its potential for monitoring chelatable iron under conditions of iron-mediated cell damage, iron overload, and diseases of iron imbalance such as malaria.

Abstract
The effect of the oxygen concentration on the rate of oxygen consumption by 786 and TA3 ascites tumor cell lines has been determined under steady-flow conditions with a membraneless fast-responding O2 electrode and using ascorbate and N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine as electron donors. The reaction was initiated by rapid injection of O2 into anaerobically incubated test system. The time-dependence of the intact cell respiration showed three distinct phases; an early very fast but short duration phase, a subsequent slow phase that prevailed for most of the reaction period and a third phase which preceded the reestablishment of anaerobiosis. Kinetic analysis of the reaction indicated a linkage between the catalytic efficiency and the transmembrane electrochemical potential. The rates of O2 uptake, obtained in the presence of both protonophores and ionophores, were monotonic and pseudo-first order over 90% of the course of O2 consumption. Extrapolation of the observed rates to zero time, at which zero delta mu H+ and thus constant flow prevails, was used to calculate the oxygen concentration for the half-maximal respiratory rate, which was found to be in the range 1.55-2.10 microM O2. No noticeable variation in the value of this kinetic parameter was found between the two cell lines used. Possible reasons for discrepancies in published reports on the oxygen dependence of the cytochrome c oxidase activity in various mitochondrial and reconstituted systems are discussed.

Abstract
Superoxide dismutase is shown to affect spectral changes observed upon cytochrome c oxidase reaction with H2O2, which indicates a possibility of O2- radicals being formed in the reaction. Using DMPO as a spin trap, generation of superoxide radicals from H2O2 in the presence of cytochrome oxidase is directly demonstrated. The process is inhibited by cyanide and is not observed with a heat-denatured enzyme pointing to a specific reaction in the oxygen-reducing centre of cytochrome c oxidase. The data support a hypothesis on a catalase cycle catalyzed by cytochrome c oxidase in the presence of excess H2O2 (Vygodina and Konstantinov (1988) Ann. NY Acad. Sci., 550, 124-138): (formula: see text)

Abstract
The development of membrane bioenergetic studies during the last 25 years has clearly demonstrated the validity of the Mitchellian chemiosmotic H+ cycle concept. The circulation of H+ ions was shown to couple respiration-dependent or light-dependent energy-releasing reactions to ATP formation and performance of other types of membrane-linked work in mitochondria, chloroplasts, some bacteria, tonoplasts, secretory granules and plant and fungal outer cell membranes. A concrete version of the direct chemiosmotic mechanism, in which H+ potential formation is a simple consequence of the chemistry of the energy-releasing reaction, is already proved for the photosynthetic reaction centre complexes. Recent progress in the studies on chemiosmotic systems has made it possible to extend the coupling-ion principle to an ion other than H+. It was found that, in certain bacteria, as well as in the outer membrane of the animal cell, Na+ effectively substitutes for H+ as the coupling ion (the chemiosmotic Na+ cycle). A precedent is set when the Na+ cycle appears to be the only mechanism of energy production in the bacterial cell. In the more typical case, however, the H+ and Na+ cycles coexist in one and the same membrane (bacteria) or in two different membranes of one and the same cell (animals). The sets of delta mu H+ and delta mu Na+ generators as well as delta mu H+ and delta mu Na+ consumers found in different types of biomembranes, are listed and discussed.

Abstract
Detailed molecular mechanisms of electron transfer-driven translocation of ions and of the generation of electric fields across biological membranes are beginning to emerge. The ideas inherent in the early formulations of the chemiosmotic hypothesis have provided the framework for this understanding and have also been seminal in promoting many of the experimental approaches which have been successfully used. This article is an attempt to review present understanding of the structures and mechanisms of several osmoenzymes of central importance and to identify and define the underlying features which might be of general relevance to the study of chemiosmotic devices.
