Abstract excerpt
Cytochrome c(1) of Rhodobacter sphaeroides ubiquinol-cytochrome c oxidoreductase contains several insertions and deletions that distinguish it from the complex of other higher organisms. Additionally, this bacterial cytochrome c(1) contains two nonconserved cysteines, C145 and C169, with the latter included in the second long insertion located upstream of the sixth heme ligand, M185. The orientation of the...
