All members in the C-type cytochrome superfamily contain a heme prosthetic group that is covalently attached to the protein via two thioether bonds to cysteine residues; most cytochromes ''c'' occur in a '''CXXCH motif''', where a histidine residue is one of the two axial ligands of the heme iron.<ref name=main>PMID:18855424</ref><ref name=heme /> The other axial position, in monoheme cytochromes ''c'', may be left vacant or be occupied by histidine or methionine residues, but can sometimes be occupied by cysteine or leucine residues.<ref name=main />. The typical monoheme cyt ''c'' fold is formed by helices <scene name='Sandbox_Reserved_335/Helices/ | All members in the C-type cytochrome superfamily contain a heme prosthetic group that is covalently attached to the protein via two thioether bonds to cysteine residues; most cytochromes ''c'' occur in a '''CXXCH motif''', where a histidine residue is one of the two axial ligands of the heme iron.<ref name=main>PMID:18855424</ref><ref name=heme /> The other axial position, in monoheme cytochromes ''c'', may be left vacant or be occupied by histidine or methionine residues, but can sometimes be occupied by cysteine or leucine residues.<ref name=main />.
