Abstract excerpt
Hyperthermophilic Aquifex aeolicus cytochrome c(555) (AA c(555)) exceptionally folds even in the apo state, unlike general cytochromes c including mesophilic Pseudomonas aeruginosa cytochrome c(551) (PA c(551)), which is structurally homologous to AA c(555) in the holo state. Here we hypothesized that the exceptional apo AA c(555) folding can be attributed to nine hydrophobic amino acid residues and proved this...
