Abstract
Background: Cytochrome c oxidase reduces O2 to H2O, a reaction coupled to proton translocation across the membrane. Results: Photolysis of CO from the mixed valence form of cytochrome ba3-CO does not lead to a heme a33+-CuB 1+-CO binuclear center. Conclusion: The absence of reverse electron transfer between hemes a3 and b is shown. Significance: Unique thermodynamic and kinetic properties of cytochrome ba3 oxidase are presented.
