Abstract

Cytochrome c (cyt. c) has become a major protein for testing new approaches and techniques in protein science.1 This is partly due to the venerable position that cytochrome c holds in the field of biochemistry since it was isolated and characterized more than 70 years ago. Cyt. c was one of the first proteins to be sequenced,2 and to have its X-ray structure determined in 1967.3 Cyt. c also has the advantage of stability and a spectroscopically distinct heme group. More than 23,000 articles mentioning cyt. c were published between 1945-2002 (ISI Web of Science). Here, we describe an approach to tetraphenylporphyrin-based protein surface receptors and the characterization of their interactions with the principal target cyt. c.
