Researchers discover an important role for hydrogen bonding in mitochondrial disease mutation

Researchers from the Department of Physics, University of Helsinki, Finland and Jagiellonian University, Krakow, Poland found that a subtle hydrogen bonding rearrangement caused by an exercise-intolerance related mitochondrial disease mutation can perturb the normal functioning of the respiratory chain complex III. Complex III is one of the key enzymes that contributes to energy (ATP) generation in cells.
