Abstract
Members of the cytochrome c oxidase family exhibit nitrite reductase activity. In this work, we have characterized a ferrous heme a3-nitro species in ba3-oxidase by resonance Raman spectroscopy. This provides the first evidence for the structure of a nitrite-bound species in the binuclear heme/copper center of cytochrome c oxidases.
