In Rhodospirillum rubrum and Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides it is shown that the oxidation of cytochrome c 2 involves a diffusion limited process. From analysis of the results it follows that the electron transfer probability must be very low. This is corroborated by in vitro studies using the isolated components.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
