Cytochromes c‘:  Biological Models for the S = 3/2,5/2 Spin-State Admixture?

The electronic ground state of most known ferric heme proteins is either low-spin (S=1/2) or high-spin (S=5/2). However, a small group of proteins known as cytochromes c' have shown unusual electromagnetic properties. This review describes and discusses the results of studies on these proteins.
