Abstract: | A soluble cytochrome c-552 from Thiobacillus thiooxidans was highly purified and its physico-chemical properteis were studied. The absorption maxima were at 552,523,418 nm in the reduced from and at 412 nm in the oxidized form. The pyridine hemochrome spectrum was the same as that of other cytochromes c. The molecular weight, estimated by the gel filtration method, was found to be 12,600. The isoelectric point was determined to be 9.2-9.3 by the electrofocusing technique. The standard oxidation-reduction potential of this cytochrome was +0.247 V. |
