โฆ Synopsis
A girl was presented suffering from generalised weakness and cardiorespiratory insufficiency. She succumbed at the age of 5 months. Lactate levels were elevated in serum, cerebrospinal fluid and urine. Histopathological examination revealed a mitochondrial myopathy. In muscle tissue the cytochrome oxydase activity was strongly reduced. The content of cytochromes b and aa3 was very low. At autopsy a cardiomyopathy was found.

The cyanide isotope-sensitive low-frequency vibrations of ferrous cyano complexes of cytochrome a 3 are studied for cytochrome ba 3 from Thermus thermophilus and cytochrome aa 3 from bovine heart. Cyanide complexes of ba 3 display three isotope sensitive frequencies at 512, 485, and 473 cm 01 . The
