Eva Nývltová, Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Fellow Department of Neurology eva.nyvltova@med.miami.edu https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Eva_Nyvltova I am interested in the role/s played by cysteine-rich proteins located in the mitochondrial intermembrane space. They may be involved in redox homeostasis and/or formation of metal centers in electron transport chain enzymes.
