Superoxide generation from mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase induces self-inactivation with specific protein radical formation.

Mitochondrial superoxide (O(2)(.)) production is an important mediator of oxidative cellular injury. While NADH dehydrogenase (NDH) is a critical site of this O(2)(.) production; its mechanism of O(2)(.) generation is not known. Therefore, the catalytic function of NDH in the mediation of O(2)(.) ge... View More
