The amino acid sequence of cytochrome c' from the purple photosynthetic bacterium Rhodospirillum rubrum S1 has been determined and is consistent with homology to cytochrome c' from the nonphotosynthetic bacterium Alcaligenes sp. NCIB 11015. There is 29% identity in the chosen alignment of these two proteins. R. rubrum cytochrome c' is composed of a single peptide chain of 126 amino acid residues with a single heme covalently bound near the COOH terminus. There is no sequence similarity to
