Infrared Spectroscopy of Cytochrome C Oxidase Intermediate States
Cytochrome c oxidase is a critical player in the process of cellular respiration, performing proton translocation coupled to the four-electron reduction of O2 to H2O. To accomplish this catalytic task, specific changes at the active site influence chemical and physical changes throughout the …

Toward model compounds for the resting cytochrome c oxidase active site
… analogs of derivatized active-site structures of cytochrome c oxidase. Part II. Imidazolate-bridged, mixed-metal binuclear porphyrin compounds have been reinvestigated to model the proposed imidazolate-bridged (cytochrome $a\sb3\sp{3+}$(imid)Cu$\sp{2+}$) active-site structure of resting cytochrome …

Assembly of cytochrome c oxidase: the role of hSco1p and hSco2p
COX deficiency in human presents a plethora of phenotypes which is not surprising given the complexity of the enzyme structure and the multiple factors and many steps required for its assembly. A functional COX requires three mitochondrially encoded subunits (Cox1p, Cox2p and Cox3p), at least 10 …

The Study of Aa3-Type Cytochrome C Oxidase in Rhodobacter Sphaeroides
Cytochrome c oxidase is the final electron acceptor in the respiratory chain and catalyzes the highly exergonic oxygen reduction reaction to water and forms a transmembrane electrochemical proton gradient. This transmembrane gradient is used by ATP synthase to produce ATP. The oxygen chemistry …

Studies on the Proton Pumping Mechanism of Aa(3)-Type Cytochrome C Oxidase
The monomeric form of bovine heart mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase was used to detect directly the proton uptake and release events during the F-to-O transition. Absorption change of the pH sensitive dye was monitored spectroscopically. Rapid proton release followed by slow proton uptake was …

Biochemical Studies on the Catalytic Cycle of Cytochrome C Oxidase in Rhodobacter Sphaeroides
Cytochrome c oxidase from Rhodobacter sphaeroides exhibits properties similar to those of mitochondrial bovine oxidase. The X-ray crystal structure of cytochrome c oxidase from Paracoccus denitrificans reveals two proton channels leading to the binuclear center. (Iwata, S., Ostermeier, C., Ludwig, …

Study of the Proton Pumping Mechanism of the Aa3-Type Cytochrome C Oxidase
Cytochrome c oxidase is the last component of the respiratory chains. It accepts electrons from a water-soluble or membrane-anchored cytochrome c and catalyzes the reduction of O2 to water (O2 + 4e- + 4H+ → 2 H2O). In cytochrome aa3 oxidase (C cO), electrons from cytochrome c are first …

Electrostatic and quantum chemical investigation of the proton pumping mechanism of cytochrome c oxidase
Cytochrome c oxidase is a crucial enzyme in the respiratory chain. It catalyzes the reduction of oxygen to water and utilizes the free energy of the reduction reaction for proton pumping across the inner-mitochondrial membrane, a process which results in a membrane electrochemical proton gradient. …

Identification and characterisation of new factors and mechanisms regulating human cytochrome c oxidase biogenesis
Assembly of the mitochondrial complex IV (CIV) or cytochrome c oxidase (COX) is an intricate and highly regulated process in which the three-core mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) encoded subunits assemble in a coordinated way with the remaining eleven supernumerary nuclear DNA (nDNA) encoded subunits. …

The AA3 Type Cytochrome C Oxidase From Rhodobacter Sphaeroides: Insights Into the Proton Pumping Mechanism From the N139D Mutation in the D-Channel
Cytochrome c oxidase, an integral membrane protein, is the final enzyme of the electron transport chain. The two sides of the membrane are denoted as the N side (the cytoplasmic side in bacteria and the matrix side of mitochondria in eukaryotes) and the P side (the periplasmic side in bacteria and …
