A method for the rapid incorporation of cytochrome c oxidase into membranes has been developed. This method essentially consists of obtaining a preparation of the enzyme in which it is isolated and then dissolving it in a medium containing 0.5% of the detergent Tween 20, which gives a final concentr

A sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoretic procedure which allows the separation of isolated cytochrome c oxidase from different mammalian sources into 13 different polypeptides is described. Application of the silver-staining procedure results in the same protein pattern as obtained by Coomassie
In order to study the affinity binding of c-type cytochromes to the photosynthetic reaction center (RC) by quantitative affinity chromatography (QAC), RC from Rhodobacter sphaeroides was reconstituted into liposomes composed of egg phosphatidylcholine (EPC) and 2 mol% of biotinyl phosphatidylethanol
