Add catalase when measuring Complex IV (CIV) activity in permeabilized fibers (pfi)
Pfi have a high content of iron-containing proteins, which accelerate the autoxidation of tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD) in the CIV assay. Catalase prevents the accumulation of H2O2 generated by this autoxidation.

Do you observe simultaneous fluctuations in the O2 slope neg. and the Peltier power?
This can indicate fluctuations in the room temperature or electrical supply. Controlling the temperature or changing the electrical supply may resolve this problem.

What is ROUTINE respiration?
ROUTINE respiration is the respiratory activity of living (non-permeabilized) cells in the physiological coupling state, which is controlled by cellular energy demand, energy turnover and the degree of coupling to phosphorylation.

- Jan- 24 Tu - International Day of Education
Restricted access to academic research produces problems of social inequality in education: A re-evaluation of scientific communication and value of science is needed. Open access to research is essential, together with a bigger demand on quality control to ensure reproducibility of the results and prevent an avalanche of new publications that may go into oblivion.
