Allergens of the urushiol family promote mitochondrial dysfunction by inhibiting the electron transport at the level of cytochromes b and chemically modify cytochrome c1 [PDF]
Biological Research, 2021 Background Urushiols are pro-electrophilic haptens that cause severe contact dermatitis mediated by CD8+ effector T-cells and downregulated by CD4+ T-cells.

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

Mapping of redox state of mitochondrial cytochromes in live cardiomyocytes using Raman microspectroscopy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 This paper presents a nonivasive approach to study redox state of reduced cytochromes c, c1 and b of complexes II and III in mitochondria of live cardiomyocytes by means of Raman microspectroscopy. For the first time with the proposed approach we perform

In situ Raman study of redox state changes of mitochondrial cytochromes in a perfused rat heart. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 We developed a Raman spectroscopy-based approach for simultaneous study of redox changes in c-and b-type cytochromes and for a semiquantitative estimation of the amount of oxygenated myoglobin in a perfused rat heart.

Cytochrome b of Isolated Chloroplasts [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1970 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 ...

Taxonomy of Mitochondrial Cytochrome B Proteins of the Same Amino Acid Sequence Length
The Scientific World Journal, 2021 Prior to this study, we discovered a protein characterized by many different amino acid sequences with the same number of amino acid residues. This turned out to be a unique cytochrome b, in which 1048 molecules out of 1689 contain 379 amino acid ...
