Cytochrome c553 from sulfate-reducing bacteria is a low-oxidoreduction-potential cytochrome. The primary and tertiary structures show notable differences when compared to mitochondrial cytochromes. Tyr64 replacement in cytochrome c553 provides evidence that this residue is not directly involved in the potential modulation but is mostly implicated in the hydrogen-bond network around the heme. While the different variants obtained did not induce drastic structural modifications, they did affect the stability of the protein. This decrease of stability in acidic and alkaline environments was observed by variations in the optical spectra and by mass spectrometry. In addition, the mobility of aromatic side-chain was found to be increased in the mutant proteins as monitored by two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy.

D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D011487 Protein Conformation The characteristic 3-dimensional shape of a protein, including the secondary, supersecondary (motifs), tertiary (domains) and quaternary structure of the peptide chain. PROTEIN STRUCTURE, QUATERNARY describes the conformation assumed by multimeric proteins (aggregates of more than one polypeptide chain). Conformation, Protein,Conformations, Protein,Protein Conformations
