title: One-step immunoaffinity purification of complex I subunits from beef heart mitochondria.
abstract: Polypeptides of beef heart mitochondrial complex I were isolated from 15 mg of solubilized beef heart mitochondria using antibodies immobilized on an agarose chromatography column. The preparation was examined by SDS electrophoresis and Western blotting using affinity-purified antibodies to complex I and compared to beef heart complex I purified according to the conventional method of Hatefi and Rieske. There was a high degree of homology between the two preparations as judged by SDS-polyacrylamide electrophoresis and by immunoblotting with seven affinity-purified antibodies to various complex I subunits. This method could be applied to the preparation of complex I subunits from small samples such as human muscle biopsy specimens.
