Cytochromes

Cytochromes are hemoproteins that play important roles in electron transport chains.

Several cytochromes involved in electron transport chains

Looking at the above image, we can see two cytochrome complexes: cytochrome b-c1 complex and cytochrome oxidase complex. Cytochrome b-c1 complex receives the electron from NADH dehydrogenase complex and cytochrome oxidase complex is the final electron receiver during electron transport.
