  7. Cytochrome c as an experimental model protein

    Cytochrome c was a primary candidate for studies of molecular evolution. Numerous cytochrome c polypeptides had been sequenced four decades ago giving an early set of data on which to perform analyses of phylogenetics and sequence conservation. 11, 12 It was one of the first proteins to be studied by site-directed mutagenesis 13 for the same reason. Because of its occurrence in organelles ...

  8. Cytochrome c: An extreme multifunctional protein with a key role in

    Cytochrome c, a protein that belongs to class 1 of the c-type cytochrome family, exerts different functions depending on its cellular localization and the conditions in which it operates; therefore, it can be defined as 'extreme multifunctional' protein. It mediates electron-transfer in the respiratory chain and acts as a detoxifying agent to dispose of ROS.

    All studies converge to the fact that in case of cell apoptosis or necrosis cytochrome c is released from the mitochondria into the extracellular space. Many studies confirmed that serum cytochrome c can be easily measured and used for diagnosing and assessing the severity of pathological entities characterized by cell death. However, different studies have shown diverse serum cytochrome c ...

    Multiheme cytochrome c (Cyt c) can function as a redox protein on electrode to accomplish bioelectrocatalysis. However, the direct electron transfer (DET) between the redox site of Cyt c and electrode is low due to the large coupling distance. A close proximity or a connection pathway from the deeply buried active site to the protein surface can be established by modifying the electrode with ...
