Heme containing proteins are involved in a broad range of cellular functions, from oxygen sensing and transport to catalyzing oxidoreductive reactions. The two major types of cytochrome (b-type and c-type) only differ in their mechanism of heme attachment, but this has major implications for their cellular roles in both localization and mechanism. The b-type cytochromes are commonly cytoplasmic, or are within the cytoplasmic membrane, while c-type cytochromes are always found outside of the cyto ...[more]
