Cytochrome bc1 Complex (Ubiquinol Ferricytochrome C Oxidoreductase)

Cytochrome bc1 Facts:

• Is a ubiquinol:ferricytochrome c oxidoreductase.
• Cytochrome bc1 is a dimeric protein.
• Each half of the dimer protein is composed of 11 protein chains as well as cofactors.
• The cofactors include hemes & an iron-sulfur cluster.
• The complex binds to ubiquinol, found in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
• Cytochrome bc1's connection to cytochrome c passes through an iron-sulfur cluster & then to heme.
• Is found in mitochondria, photosynthetic bacteria & other prokaryotes
