A Conformational Switch to β-sheet Structure in Cytochrome c Leads to Heme Exposure; Implications for Cardiolipin Peroxidation and Apoptosis

Ultraviolet resonance Raman spectroscopy reveals that, when heated at pH 3, a substantial fraction (30 %) of cytochrome c converts to a β-sheet structure, at the expense of turns and helices. β-sheet formation is rapid, exhibiting a 2 µs rise time, following a temperature jump. It is proposed that a...
