Structured fields used in claim comparison tables when every cited study has a complete layer.
Key findings
Plant-specific MPP-domain differences, defined CIV subunits, and long-range coordinated CIII2 movements including the iron-sulfur head domain.
Methodology
Determined single-particle cryo-EM structures of mitochondrial CIII2, CIV, and their supercomplex from mung bean.
Limitations
Plant maps may differ from mammalian complexes; static ensembles undersample full catalysis.
