Highly purified cytochrome c1, which consists of only one heme peptide and does not form a stable c1-c complex (c1-H-c complex), was used in studies of electron transfer between cytochrome c1 and c. Results show that a stable and ionic-strength-sensitive c1-c complex (i.e., the c1-H-c complex) in the forms of the various oxidation states is not required, in contrast to the current belief of the participation of the complex in the electron transfer between cytochromes c1 and c. A minimum mechanism for electron transfer between these two cytochromes is suggested in accord with the experimental results.
高度纯化的细胞色素c1，它仅由一个血红素肽组成，且不形成稳定的c1-c复合物（c1-H-c复合物），被用于细胞色素c1和c之间电子转移的研究。结果表明，与目前认为该复合物参与细胞色素c1和c之间电子转移的观点相反，各种氧化态形式的稳定且对离子强度敏感的c1-c复合物（即c1-H-c复合物）并非必需。根据实验结果，提出了这两种细胞色素之间电子转移的最小机制。
