The 5 kDa protein NdhP is essential for stable NDH-1L assembly in Thermosynechococcus elongatus.

The cyanobacterial NADPH:plastoquinone oxidoreductase complex (NDH-1), that is related to Complex I of eubacteria and mitochondria, plays a pivotal role in respiration as well as in cyclic electron transfer (CET) around PSI and is involved in a unique carbon concentration mechanism (CCM). Despite many achievements in the past, the complex protein composition and the specific function of many subunits of the different NDH-1 species remain elusive. We have recently discovered in a NDH-1 preparation from Thermosynechococcus elongatus two novel single transmembrane peptides (NdhP, NdhQ) with molecular weights below 5 kDa.

[Running as the people's exercise. A brief statement].

Exercises, especially running, are the most effective measures to protect against the wellknown diseases caused by today's lifestyle. The following brief statement will focus on the benefits of running.

Correlations between laboratory testing and distance running performance in marathoners of similar performance ability.

Correlations between distance running performance and laboratory testing were examined in 11 marathoners of similar fitness (VO2max 66.4 +/- 1.7 ml/kg X min).
