The cytochrome c peroxidase.cytochrome c electron transfer complex. Experimental support of a hypothetical model.

Dynamics of cytochrome bf complex of photosynthesis apparatus

Photosynthesis is a process under which, the radiative energy is converted into the chemical one. Compared to the man-made devices, the photosynthesis apparatus is much more efficient. This high efficiency comes from its elaborate structure, very fast transition rates and a complex electron and proton transfer chain among the subunits of the apparatus. Its main subunits (Photosystem I (PSI), bf...

An hypothetical structure for an intermolecular electron transfer complex of cytochromes c and b5.

Thermodynamics for complex of L-histidine with molybdenum (VI) Model Anticancer Drugs

Organometallic complexes offer potential for design as anticancer drugs. A quantitativemodel that discriminates anticancer compounds from the inactive ones in a training series wasEquilibrium of the reaction of molybdenum (VI) with l-histidine have been studiedin aqueous solutions at pH range of 4-8, using spectrophotometry and optical rotationmethods at constant ionic strength of 0.15 mol.lit-...

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...

Solution structure and dynamics of the complex between cytochrome c and cytochrome c peroxidase determined by paramagnetic NMR.

The physiological complex of yeast cytochrome c peroxidase and iso-1-cytochrome c is a paradigm for biological electron transfer. Using paramagnetic NMR spectroscopy, we have determined the conformation of the protein complex in solution, which is shown to be very similar to that observed in the crystal structure [Pelletier H, Kraut J (1992) Science 258:1748-1755]. Our results support the view ...
