Complete analysis of the cytochrome components of beef heart mitochondria in terms of spectra and redox properties. The c1-cytochromes.

K V Reddy and R W Hendler

ABSTRACT

Using newer techniques for conducting and analyzing potentiometric titrations, we have studied the thermodynamic and spectral properties of cytochrome c1 in beef heart mitochondria. We find two species of cytochrome c1, both with n = 2 values for the number of electrons involved in their oxidation or reduction. One has an Em approximately 210 mV and a spectral peak near 555 nm and the other has an Em approximately 255 mV and a spectral peak nearer 553 nm. These Em values are pH-independent in the range of pH 6 to 8. The Em and n values of these two components are indistinguishable from those of two species of cytochrome aa3 (i.e. spectral feature of 605 nm).
