Biochemistry of Marine Organisms.

Abstract : The objectives of the project were to compare oxidative metabolism of marine organisms with that in the well studied systems such as mammalian heart tissue, to map and explore the bioenergetic systems of representative marine organisms, and to 'cross reconstitute' the respiratory chain by components from marine organisms with those from mammalian heart. Almost essential for the above studies was the search for new methodology for studying bioenergetics.
