Cytochrome c551 as a model system for protein folding Original Research Article

Considerable progress was made over the last few years in understanding the mechanism of folding of cytochrome c551, a small acidic hemeprotein from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Comparison of our results with those obtained by others on horse heart cytochrome c allows to draw some general conclusions on the structural features that are common determinants in the folding of members of the cytochrome c family.
