Thionitrobenzoate-modified yeast cytochrome c was shown to react with both monomeric and dimeric forms of beef heart cytochrome c oxidase through subunit III. This cytochrome c derivative was found to inhibit electron transfer in the dimer but not in the monomer. These results are interpreted to show that the high affinity binding site for cytochrome c is a cleft at the interface between monomers in the cytochrome c oxidase dimer.
硫代硝基苯甲酸修饰的酵母细胞色素c被证明可通过亚基III与牛心细胞色素c氧化酶的单体和二聚体形式发生反应。发现这种细胞色素c衍生物可抑制二聚体中的电子传递,但不能抑制单体中的电子传递。这些结果被解释为表明细胞色素c的高亲和力结合位点是细胞色素c氧化酶二聚体中单体之间界面处的一个裂隙。
