Recent progress in experimental studies on the catalytic mechanism of cytochrome c oxidase
Cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) reduces molecular oxygen (O2) to water, coupled with a proton pump from the N-side to the P-side, by receiving four electrons sequentially from the P-side to the O2-reduction site—including Fea3 and CuB—via the two low potential metal sites; CuA and Fea. The catalytic cycl...
