Salt as a catalyst in the mitochondria: returning cytochrome c to its native state after it misfolds on the surface of cardiolipin containing membranes†
Abstract
Cytochrome c binding to cardiolipin receptors on the surface of TOCL/DOPC(20% : 80%) liposomes induces a conformational change, which is not reversible after the protein's dissociation at low ionic strength. Addition of 100 mM NaCl switches the protein back to its native state.
