The Biomolecule Sequencer is a Commercial Off-The-Shelf device developed by Oxford Nanopore Technologies and implements a method of DNA sequencing unlike any other current sequencers. The device measures changes in electrical current through a nanopore depending on the sequence of the DNA strand that is passing through it. Since the technology is built on nanometer-scale ion pores, the hardware itself is exceptionally small (3 x 1 x 58 inches), lightweight (less than 120 grams with USB cable), and powered only by a USB connection. The sequencing device is permanent, while the flow cells, to which the samples are added, are periodically replaced. The goal of our upcoming technology demonstration on ISS is to provide evidence that DNA sequencing in space is possible, which holds the exciting potential to enable the identification of microorganisms, monitor changes in microbes and humans in response to spaceflight, and possibly aid in the detection of DNA-based life elsewhere in the universe.
The cytochrome bc 1 complex is a key component of the mitochondrial respiratory chains of many eukaryotic microorganisms that are pathogenic for plants or humans, such as fungi responsible for crop diseases and Plasmodium falciparum, which causes human malaria. Cytochrome bc 1 is an enzyme that contains two (ubi)quinone/quinol-binding sites, which can be exploited for the development of fungicidal and chemotherapeutic agents. In this article, we review recent progress in determination of the structure and mechanism of action of cytochrome bc 1 , and the associated development of antimicrobial agents (and associated resistance mechanisms) targeting its activity.
