Adaptive evolution of cytochrome b in songbirds [PDF]
ABSTRACT The mitochondrial bc1 complex catalyzes the oxidation of ubiquinol by reducing cytochrome c. Cytochrome b, the catalytic core of bc1, generates superoxide during the oxidation of ubiquinol. Excessive superoxide production is known to accelerate aging and neurodegeneration.

Cytochrome b of Isolated Chloroplasts [PDF]
1 Cytochrome composition and light-induced absorbance changes of cytochromes b and f in isolated chloroplasts have been measured in the α-band region utilizing dual-wavelength spectrophotometry. Three cytochromes appeared in reduced minus oxidized spectra, whereas only two of them, namely, cytochrome f and a cytochrome b appeared in light-induced ...
