Cytochrome C is a complex mitochondrial protein involved in energy production and cell destruction. But also likely a lot more we haven't found yet.

After finding and accidentally losing a new conformation of it in 2009, Uruguay scientists along with Vanderbilt, they have re-isolated it using a specially built monoclonal antibody.

@focalplane_jcs kinda difficult to keep up with all of the developments but TCSPC seems to be an upcoming field for quantum yield in a chain of fluors for figuring out the intrinsic fluoresence of tryptophan anisotropy and circular dichroism or Kcat :blobcat_rollingeyes: of an #enzyme or #cytochrome (or two)inside the #umwelt a living cell ?
