| Abstract: | The biological functions of cytochrome c' and bacterioferritin, both haemoproteins with a common 4-alpha-helical bundle structure, are discussed and an example given of one of Kamen's laws, namely: comparative studies of prokaryotic cytochromes and their eukaryotic counterparts are useful. In the present case, the comparison is between bacterioferritin and its animal counterpart, haemoferritin. |
