The hemes are arranged in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacking_(chemistry) parallel-displaced] pairs. Each pair is orthogonal to the next pair. | The hemes are arranged in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacking_(chemistry) parallel-displaced] pairs. Each pair is orthogonal to the next pair. | ||
The <scene name='83/835223/Hemes/11'>hemes at each monomer-monomer interface form a parallel-displaced pair</scene>, which likely contributes to the stability of the filament. More importantly, this produces a continuous chain of hemes through the length of the filament. This continuous chain of hemes is believed to be the basis of the electrical conductivity. | The <scene name='83/835223/Hemes/11'>hemes at each monomer-monomer interface form a parallel-displaced pair</scene>, which likely contributes to the stability of the filament.
