Abstract

We determined for the first time the crystal structure of diatom cytochrome c₆ from Phaeodactylum tricornutum at 1.5 Å resolution. The overall structure of the protein was classified as a class I c-type cytochrome. The physicochemical properties of the protein were examined by denaturation with guanidine hydrochloride and urea, and compared with those of other algal cytochrome c₆.
