The Role of Cytochromes P450 in Infection
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Cytochromes are expressed in many different tissues of the human body. They are found mostly in intestinal and hepatic tissues. Cytochromes P450 (CYPs) are enzymes that oxidize substances using iron and are able to metabolize a large variety of ...

Increased mutation rates and diversity are dominant features of Geobacter multiheme cytochromes [PDF]
mBioMultiheme cytochromes (MHCs) are the central catalysts of extracellular electron transfer and are uniquely abundant in the genomes of model Fe(III)-reducing organisms like Geobacter sulfurreducens.

Evolution for enhanced extracellular electron transfer in Geobacter sulfurreducens over seventeen years of continuous current generation [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyBioelectrochemical systems that harvest electricity from wastes, soils, or sediments are designed to operate over long periods of time. However, little is known about the long-term adaptation of electroactive microbes to such non-natural environments ...

Electron transport across the cell envelope via multiheme c-type cytochromes in Geobacter sulfurreducens [PDF]
Frontiers in ChemistryExtracellular electron transfer (EET) enables certain microorganisms to respire using soluble and insoluble extracellular electron acceptors by transporting electrons across the cell envelope. Among these, G. sulfurreducens serves as a model organism for

Activity of respiratory chain cytochrome complexes and cytochromes content in the rat kidney mitochondria under different nutrients content in a diet [PDF]
The Ukrainian Biochemical Journal, 2023 An important role in ensuring the functioning of the respiratory chain belongs to the cytochrome part, which includes complexes III (ubiquinol-cytochrome c oxidoreductase) and IV (cytochrome c oxidase). The key components of these enzymatic complexes are
