Kinetics of electron transfer between cardiac cytochromes c1 and c.
Highly purified cytochrome c1, which consists of only one heme peptide and does not form a stable c1-c complex (c1-H-c complex), was used in studies of electron transfer between cytochrome c1 and c. Results show that a stable and ionic-strength-sensitive c1-c complex (i.e., the c1-H-c complex) in the forms of the various oxidation states is not required, in contrast to the current belief of the...
متن کاملModular origins of biological electron transfer chains.
Oxidoreductases catalyze electron transfer reactions that ultimately provide the energy for life. A limited set of ancestral protein-metal modules are presumably the building blocks that evolved into this diverse protein family. However, the identity of these modules and their path to modern oxidoreductases is unknown. Using a comparative structural analysis approach, we identify a set of funda...
متن کاملThe roles of outer membrane cytochromes of Shewanella and Geobacter in extracellular electron transfer.
As key components of the electron transfer (ET) pathways used for dissimilatory reduction of solid iron [Fe(III)] (hydr)oxides, outer membrane multihaem c-type cytochromes MtrC and OmcA of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 and OmcE and OmcS of Geobacter sulfurreducens mediate ET reactions extracellularly. Both MtrC and OmcA are at least partially exposed to the extracellular side of the outer membrane...
متن کاملLong-Distance Electron Transfer by G. sulfurreducens Biofilms Results in Accumulation of Reduced c-Type Cytochromes
So close, but yet so far: G. sulfurreducens c-type cytochromes become reduced as biofilms grow on electrodes beyond a few cell thicknesses, even if the electrode is poised well above the potential required to oxidize all cytochromes. Cytochrome redox state also lags behind rapid potential changes during voltammetry, but only when the films are multiple cell layers thick, as would be expected if...
متن کاملFormation of Silver Nanoparticles by Electron Transfer in Peptides and c-Cytochromes.
The reduction of Ag+ ions to Ag0 atoms is a highly endergonic reaction step, only the aggregation to Agn clusters leads to an exergonic process. These elementary chemical reactions play a decisive role if Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) are generated by electron transfer (ET) reactions to Ag+ ions. We studied the formation of AgNPs in peptides by photoinduced ET, and in c-cytochromes by ET from their ...
