The electron distribution in the “activated” state of cytochrome c oxidase
Abstract Cytochrome c oxidase catalyzes reduction of O2 to H2O at a catalytic site that is composed of a copper ion and heme group. The reaction is linked to translocation of four protons across the membrane for each O2 reduced to water. The free energy associated with electron transfer to the catal...
