Cytochrome Spectra and Oxygen
From Bioblast
Simultaneous measurement of respiration and spectrophotometric assessment of cytochrome spectra in intact cells was explored by a collaboration of OROBOROS INSTRUMENTS and LEA Medizintechnik. First results on hypoxic steady-state measurements were presented by Natascha Sommer, Thomas Derfuss and Erich Gnaiger at an EBEC Colloquium in Moscow, July 2006 (see also: Sommer_2010_Eur_Respir_J). The integration of spectroscopy into the O2k is currently explored in the framework of the MitoCom project.
