Abstract excerpt
The cytochrome c(1) subunit of the ubihydroquinone:cytochrome c oxidoreductase (bc(1) complex) contains a single heme group covalently attached to the polypeptide via thioether bonds of two conserved cysteine residues. In the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter (Rba.) capsulatus, cytochrome c(1) contains two additional cysteines, C144 and C167. Site-directed mutagenesis reveals a disulfide bond (rare in monoheme...
