Article Synopsis
- Ferrous cytochrome c does not bind ligands like cyanide and CO, leading to a study using cyclic voltammetry to determine its redox potential (-240 mV vs SHE).
- The binding constant for cyanide to reduced cytochrome c was estimated to be 4.7 x 10(-3) L M(-1), indicating that it's significantly less favorable than in ferricytochrome c due to an enthalpic barrier.
- The investigation revealed that the main issue with cyanide binding to ferrous cytochrome c is related to its compact structure and decreased conformational flexibility, influenced by various biophysical factors.
