I think if I remember well is a group of proteins or enzymes that belong to the superfamily of HEME. The metal involved has to be Fe, due to its magnetic powers to exchange protons in molecules affected by the Cytochrome.
Is found everywhere in the living organisms and inside the cells. Our liver has a lot of these chemicals
several medications can inhibit or accelerate their function so making it important to know how the drug may or not affect their metabolizing work

∙ 15y agoThe cytochromes are proteins with characteristic strong absorption of visible light, due to their iron containing heme prosthetic groups. Their main function is transfer of electron in photosynthesis and electron transport chain which occur in mitochondria.

Is cytochrome a coenzyme?
cytochrome(a+a3) is called enzym..., so
What organism whose cytochrome c is most like human cytochrome c?
A Rhesus monkey
Where are you likely to find the enzyme cytochrome oxidases?
Cytochrome Oxidase are most likely to be found in mitochondria and important in cell respiration as an agent of electron transfer from certain cytochrome molecules to oxygen molecules
What is cytochrome P-450 used for?
The family of liver isoenzymes known as cytochrome P-450 are crucial to drug metabolism
What is the role of the cytochrome complex in photosynthesis?
Cytochrome BF is a complex that is involved in the electron and H+ transportation in chloroplast. During the light dependent reaction in the chloroplast, cytochrome BF uses high energy electrons from the PSi PSii proteins to transport H+ across the Thylakoid membrane to be used later to synthesize ATP. Cytochrome BF is homologous to Cytochrome BC in Mitochondria, which is used in the electron transport chain in cell respiration.

A Rhesus monkey
How many cytochrome c do humans have?
Humans have only one cytochrome c gene, which encodes a single protein that is essential for the electron transport chain in mitochondria. This protein plays a crucial role in cellular respiration by transferring electrons between complexes in the chain.

Cytochrome Oxidase are most likely to be found in mitochondria and important in cell respiration as an agent of electron transfer from certain cytochrome molecules to oxygen molecules
What can one buy from the store Cytochrome?
One can buy cytochrome c, a highly conserved model protein for molecular evolution. After supplied, the cytochrome c product stays stable for five years.
What is the function of Oxidases?
cytochrome oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of a reduces cytochrome by molecular oxygen, resulting in the formation of H2O or H2O2.

What is the sequence of electron carriers in the electron transport chain starting with the least electronegative?
NADH Dehydrogenase Ubiquinone Cytochrome b-c1 complex Cytochrome c Cytochrome oxidase complex
How is hydrogen carried from Krebs cycle to the cytochrome system?
The hydrogen from Krebs cycle to the cytochrome system is carried through NADH2 molecules.
How many cytochrome P450 are there in the body?
57
