title: Resonance Raman spectroscopy of c-type cytochromes.
abstract: This paper provides an overview of the usefulness of the resonance Raman (RR) spectroscopy in the determination of the structural and electronic properties of heme(s) included in c-type cytochromes. It reviews the mode assignments presently available for heme c and includes recent RR data on the most important subclasses of c-type cytochromes. It also describes the effects of cytochrome c-oxidase and cytochrome c-reductase associations on the heme vibrational modes of the bound cytochrome c.
