Cadmium-cardiolipin disruption of respirasome assembly and redox balance through mitochondrial membrane rigidification by Nadiya Romanova, Kevin Sule, Travis Issler, Daniel Hebrok, Marcus Persicke, Frank Thévenod, Elmar J. Prenner, Wing-Kee Lee

“…Laurdan-loaded pure CL or IMM biomimetic (40 mol % POPC, 35 mol % DOPE, 20 mol % TOCL, 5 mol % SAPI) nanoliposomes were rigidified by 25 μM Cd, which was confirmed in live-cell imaging of laurdan or di-4-ANEPPDHQ loaded human proximal convoluted tubule (HPCT) cells. Blue native gel electrophoresis evidenced ∼30% loss of I+III2+IVn SC formation after 5 μM Cd for 6 h in HPCTs, which was reversed by CL-binding drug MTP-131/SS-31/elamipretide (0.1 μM), yet α-tocopherol-insensitive. …”

Diversity of Molecular–Network Conformations in the Over-Stoichiometric Arsenoselenides Covering a Full <i>Thioarsenides</i> Row As₄Se_n (0 ≤ <i>n</i> ≤ 6)... by Oleh Shpotyuk, Malgorzata Hyla, Zdenka Lukáčová Bujňáková, Yaroslav Shpotyuk, Vitaliy Boyko

“…Within this map, compositional counter lines corresponding to preferential molecular or network-forming tendencies in the examined arsenoselenides are determined, explaining that network-crystalline conformations prevail in the boundary compositions corresponding to n = 6 and n = 0, while molecular-crystalline ones dominate inside the rows corresponding to n = 4 and n = 3. A set of primary and secondary equilibrium lines is introduced in the developed clustering map to account for inter-phase equilibria between the most favorable (regular) and competitive (irregular) <i>thioarsenide</i> phases. …”
