Approximate stoichiometry of the crystallization solution. 

Intensity signal-to-noise ratio. 

Rsym = ∑∑j|Ij − 〈I〉|/∑∑j|Ij|. 

§

R = ∑∥Fobs| − |Fcalc∥/∑|Fobs| for all reflections (no σ cutoff). 

Free R calculated against 8% of the reflections removed at random. 

Root-mean-square deviations (rmsd) from ideal bond and angle restraints. 

**

Relative occupancies of Fe and Zn as determined by multiwavelength anomalous diffraction experiments. For 2Fe:1Zn, different crystals were used for structure and metal-occupancy determinations. Values are averages of the two molecules in the asymmetric unit. 

‡‡

Fe(III)-only cyt c (Protein Data Bank ID code 3CYT). 

††

The increase in the Met-80 bond length with increasing Zn occupancy indicates that for Zn-only cyt c, dMet-80 ≥ 2.50 Å.
