The heme groups are labelled <scene name='71/716635/Heme_groups/ | Cc7 is a single polypeptide chain 68 residues total containing three heme groups. The polypeptide strand has one alpha helix 4 residues in length and two beta strands 2 residues in length. The heme groups are labelled<scene name='71/716635/Heme_groups/2'>as I, III, and IV</scene>. The binding site is located on the distal side of heme group IV where <scene name='71/716635/Active_site_1/1'>lysine residues 41, 42, 46 and 50</scene> are an interactive component of the active site. The net charge of these residues is positive, thus binding to negatively charge compounds or cations<ref name="assfalt" />. | ||
