Wegerich et al. (J. Biol. Inorg. Chem. 18:429-440, 2013), working with singly modified human cytochromes c, claim to have found a new mechanism for the reduction of iron(III) cytochrome c by superoxide. I show that electron transfer by way of the solvent-accessible haem edge-a mechanism not considered by Wegerich et al.-is still the correct mechanism. Furthermore, several deficiencies in this work preclude any comparisons with other publications on this topic.
