Primary structure diversity of prokaryotic diheme cytochromes c.
The primary structure of five diheme cytochromes from photosynthetic bacteria recently determined in our laboratory lead to the first insights in the structural diversity of this type of cytochrome. A schematic overview is given, relating these structures to the four diheme cytochrome sequences already available. The comparison reveals unexpected homologies.
