Cytochrome c can easily be extracted from tissue particles by dilute salt solutions. It was isolated by Keilin and Hartree in 1930 and shown to contain a porphyrin ring structure. In 1933 Zeilen and Reuter established that cytochrome c was a heme (iron-porphyrin) protein. Slightly different forms of cytochrome a were distinguished in yeast and bacteria by Keilin in 1934 and the different properties of cytochrome a and a3 by Tamiya et al. in 1937. The identity of cytochrome 03, the enzyme which activates oxygen with Warburg s atmungsferment, was proposed by Keilin in 1939. Cytochrome a/a3 was renamed cytochrome oxidase by Malcolm Dixon (1939). The oxidation route then offered was ...
