Publication: Solid-state NMR studies of the pro-apoptotic peroxidase-form of cytochrome c.

Congratulations to Abhishek and his co-authors!

The Biophysical Journal has accepted our paper on the structural and functional study of cardiolipin-bound cytochrome c, looking at its peroxidase activated membrane-bound state. Lipid oxidation by cytochrome c plays a critical role in mitochondrial apoptosis, and we examined the molecular underpinnings of this process using solid-state NMR spectroscopy and other tools.
