Cytochrome is a
protein found in the matrix of the
Mitochondrion that carries out
electron transport. It performs ionization
? on and pumps the H
+ from NADH
2 and FADH
2 (which were produced in
glycolysis, the intermidetary step, and the
Citric acid cycle) to an outer mitochondrial membrame. Cytochromes are partly composed of
iron, and so are capable of performing
Oxidation and reduction. There are 5 kinds of cytochrome:
I have been seeing these by other (simular) names as well so do not hesitate to change them. Should they be subpages, seperate, or just short descriptions after each one in the list?
- Cytochrome Q
- Cytochrome b
- Cytochrome c1
- Cytochrome c
- Cytochome A complex
See the artical on Mitochondrion for more information on electron transport.
