Stiochiometry of porphyrin rings per cytochrome c
« on: March 22, 2012, 05:40:12 AM »
I have just finished a practical which i need to analyse data for and one of the questions is how many porphyrin rings is there per molecule of cytochrome c... now I have an AAS sample of cytochrome c spit out a concentration of 8.711x10^-6 M and im not sure where to go from here... also the question before it asks how many Fe there are per cytochrome c molecule.... neither of these questions I can answer, does anyone have any helpful advice for me?

Thanks Guys

It is not about concentration. It is like asking how many atoms of oxygen is there per molecule of water. All you have to do is to look at the structure.
