Abstract excerpt
The interaction of cytochrome c with cardiolipin (CL) is a critical step in the initial stages of apoptosis and is mediated by a positively charged region on the protein surface comprising several lysine residues (site A). Here, the interaction of wt S. cerevisiae cytochrome c (ycc) and its K72A/K73A, K72A/K79A, K73A/K79A and K72A/K73A/K79A variants with CL was studied through UV-Vis and MCD spectroscopies at pH...
