“…Cloning and site-directed mutagenesis of the Chromatium vinosum cytochrome c' have made it possible to establish the relationship between structure and physicochemical properties of the cytochrome c' (Even, Kassner, Dolata, Meyer & Cusanovich, 1996). Since the heme Fe atom of cytochromes c' is in the high-spin state (Taniguchi & Kamen, 1963), they have unique spectroscopic (Horio & Kamen, 1961;Imai, Imai, Sato & Horio, 1969) and ligand-binding properties (Cusanovich & Gibson, 1973) compared with class I cytochromes c.…”
