title: Photoreduction behavior of cytochrome c by zinc porphyrin in lipid media.
abstract: To elucidate the role of cardiolipin (CL) on redox behavior of cytochrome c (cyt c (III)), the photoreduction of cyt c using the photosensitization of zinc tetraphenylporphyrin in presence of triethanolamine (TEOA) as a sacrificial electron-donating reagent in various lipid media were studied. The initial rate of cyt c (III) photoreduction in various lipid, CL, l-alpha-phosphatidic acid (PA), dimethyldipalmitoylammonium bromide (DMPA) and Triton X-100 media were 1.0, 0.73, 0.80 and 0.67 micromol dm-3 min-1, respectively. The cyt c (III) photoreduction rate slightly increased by the addition of CL.
