Abstract excerpt
We have examined the pre-steady-state kinetics and thermodynamic properties of the b hemes in variants of the yeast cytochrome bc1 complex that have mutations in the quinone reductase site (center N). Trp-30 is a highly conserved residue, forming a hydrogen bond with the propionate on the high potential b heme (bH heme). The substitution by a cysteine (W30C) lowers the redox potential of the heme and an apparent...
