Rieske proteins are iron–sulfur protein components of cytochrome bc1 complexes and cytochrome b6f complexes and are responsible for electron transfer in some biological systems. John S. Rieske and co-
Rieske protein from cytochrome b6f complex. (PDB: 1vf5)
crystal structure of cytochrome b6f complex from m.laminosus
The cytochrome b6f complex is an enzyme found in the thylakoid membrane in chloroplasts of plants, cyanobacteria, and green algae, that catalyzes the transfer of electrons from plastoquinol to plastoc
Rieske protein
…Rieske proteins are iron–sulfur protein (ISP) components of cytochrome bc1 complexes and cytochrome b6f complexes and are responsible for electron transfer in some biological systems. John S. Rieske and co-workers first discovered the protein and in 1964 isolated…
Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) cytochrome b6f mutant (right) next to normal plant. Plants are used in photosynthesis research to investigate the cyclic photophosphorylation.
