Redox tuning of cytochromes in mitochondrial and bacterial respiratory chains

Abstract

The enzymes from the respiratory chain show distinct redox properties depending on their structural features. Their redox potentials are fine-tuned by local electrostatics, hydrogen bonding, and solvent accessibility, rather than by cofactor identity. Strong variations in the redox potentials for homolog enzymes expressed by different organisms suggest specific adaptation of these enzymes to the environment where the organism is living
