Abstract
An extreme view of hemeproteins is that they are only coordination complexes of iron, and while this takes little account of their biochemical versatility it does focus on the obvious fact that not only is the heme central to the function of a hemeprotein, it also determines many of the protein’s physicochemical properties. Accordingly the heme and axial ligands of cytochromes c have been widely studied. The results of these studies are brought together in this chapter and in Chapters 2 and 7.
