Abstract excerpt
In apoptotic pathway, the interaction of Cytochrome c (Cytc) with cardiolipin in vivo is a key process to induce peroxidase activity of Cytc and trigger the release of Cytc in the inner mitochondria into cytosol. The peroxidase active form of Cytc occurs due to local conformational changes that support the opening of the heme crevice and the loss of an axial ligand between Met80 and heme Fe. Structural...
