Abstract excerpt
The heme in the protein cytochrome (cyt) c is surrounded by loops C and D that differ in their sequences across species. Mutations G41S and Y48H in human (hu) cyt c are associated with thrombocytopenia and have been extensively studied. Herein, we describe effects of the same mutations in horse heart (hh) cyt c and make comparisons to those in the hu protein. While wild-type (WT) hu and hh cyt c proteins have...
