Cytochromes c: Evolutionary, Structural and Physicochemical Aspects

Cyhromes c are haemoproteins which carry out electron transfer in a wide variety of biological systems, necessitating different kinds of cyhrome c to fulfill different biological roles. The evolutionary relationship between cyhromes c and their host organisms are described, as well as their structural, spectroscopic and redox properties, including both electron-transfer rates and redox potentials. The treatment is aimed at the non-specialist so that both the techniques described and their a...
