Isolation and amino acid composition of two somatostatin-like peptides from ovine hypothalamus: somatostatin-28 and somatostatin-25

Two $\text{b}$-type cytochrome components, differing in their mid-point redox potentials as well as their reactivities toward CO, are demonstrated in the membrane particle of $\text{Azotobacter}\text{vinelandii}$ by potentiometric titration. The low redox component is revealed to be CO-reactive while the higher redox component is not. Accordingly, the later cytochrome is believed not to be directly involved in the reduction of oxygen while the former component is the cytochrome $\text{o}$ of $\text{Azotobacter}$.
