Oxidation of Ferrocytochrome c by Membrane-Associated Ferricytochrome c

Positively charged cytochrome c interacts with the negatively charged mitochondrial inner membrane. This interaction induces conformational changes in bound cytochrome c. In order to estimate the effect of cytochrome c-membrane interaction on the mitochondrial electron transfer, we have investigated oxidation of ferrocytochrom c in the presence of anionic phospholipids.(omitted)
