Unfolding turns immobilized cytochrome c into a His–His ligated form endowed with catalytic activity towards O2, which is absent in the native protein. O2 could be used by naturally occurring unfolded cytochrome c as a substrate for the production of partially reduced oxygen species contributing to the cell oxidative stress.

Abstract
Unfolding turns immobilized cytochrome c into a His–His ligated form endowed with catalytic activity towards O2, which is absent in the native protein. O2 could be used by naturally occurring unfolded cytochrome c as a substrate for the production of partially reduced oxygen species contributing to the cell oxidative stress.File in questo prodotto:
