Abstract excerpt
Heme c is characterized by its covalent attachment to a polypeptide. The attachment is typically to a CXXCH motif in which the two Cys form thioether bonds with the heme, "X" can be any amino acid other than Cys, and the His serves as a heme axial ligand. Some cytochromes c, however, contain heme attachment motifs with three or four intervening residues in a CX3CH or CX4CH motif. Here, the impacts of these...
