Abstract excerpt
The nature of the axial ligation to heme iron has been suggested to be the major determinant of the oxidation-reduction potential of a particular cytochrome, but natural cytochromes that vary significantly in E'm invariably differ from one another in many ways. We proposed to clarify this issue by engineering many different ligation patterns within the same basic molecule, mitochondrial cytochrome c. Since many...
