A new trend in the complex I research field

Abstract

Abstract To date, the 17th European Bioenergetics Conference (EBEC) in Freiburg, Germany (September 15–20, 2012) was the most exciting conference for the complex I (NADH-Q oxidoreductase) research field. A whole day of oral presentations was dedicated to complex I, including three plenary lectures and 11 symposium talks. In addition, 43 posters were dedicated to complex I projects. Here is a brief summary of an exciting paradigm shift from ‘structure major’ to ‘structure plus function’, clearly observed in the complex I research field.
