Textbook Question
Chapter 20, Problem 24RE
REFLECT AND APPLY Experimental evidence strongly suggests that the protein portions of cytochromes have evolved more slowly (as judged by the number of changes in amino acids per million years) than the protein portions of hemoglobin and myoglobin and even more slowly than hydrolytic enzymes. Suggest a reason why.
