Abstract excerpt
Cytochrome c (Cytc) contains two Ω-loops (C, residues 40-57 and D, residues 70-85) that control access of Cytc to alternate conformers needed to convert it from an electron transfer (ET) protein to an enzyme with peroxidase activity. As a peroxidase, Cytc oxygenates the mitochondrial lipid cardiolipin, which is an early signal in apoptosis. We probe the role of Pro76, a highly conserved residue in Ω-loop D, in...
