Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the electron-proton coupling during the peroxy (P(R)) to oxo-ferryl (F) and F to oxidised (O) transitions in cytochrome c oxidase from Rhodobacter sphaeroides. The kinetics of these reactions were investigated in two different mutant enzymes: (1) ED(I-286), in which one of the key residues in the D-pathway, E(I-286), was replaced by an aspartate which has a shorter side chain than that of the...
