Abstract
The complete genome sequence of Helicobacter pylori reveals an unusual NADH -quinone oxidoreductase (NDH-1 or Complex I) that might lack the NADH-bindi ng domain. H. pylori also lacks various NADH-generating enzymes. What are t he consequences for electron transfer to H. pylori NDH-1 and could NADPH be involved?
