'''Cytochrome ''c''''' (cyt ''c'') is a superfamily of proteins belonging to the class of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-α_proteins all-α proteins] with a core of helices and a covalently-bound [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heme heme prosthetic group].<ref> | '''Cytochrome ''c''''' (cyt ''c'') is a superfamily of proteins belonging to the class of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-α_proteins all-α proteins] with a core of helices and a covalently-bound [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heme heme prosthetic group].<ref>PMID:11697912</ref><ref name=main /> The cytochrome ''c'' superfamily contains many different families including monodomain and multi-domain C-type cytochromes (ex. [http://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/1etp cyt c4], a two-domain C-type cytochrome, and [http://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/2ozy NrfB], a pentaheme C-type cytochrome). This page focuses mainly on the cytochrome ''c'' superfamily, briefly discussing various types within the superfamily. The monoheme cytochrome ''c'' purified from ''Rhodothermus marinus'' will be discussed in greater detail than other C-type cytochromes. | ||
