Aging-Associated Enzyme Human Clock-1: Substrate-Mediated Reduction of the Diiron Center for 5-Demethoxyubiquinone Hydroxylation

The mitochondrial membrane-bound enzyme Clock-1 (CLK-1) extends the average longevity of mice and Caenorhabditis elegans, as demonstrated for Δclk-1 constructs for both organisms. Such an apparent impact on aging and the presence of a carboxylate-bridged diiron center in the enzyme inspired this wor...
