Abstract excerpt
Resonance Raman and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopies have been used to study the aa(3)-type cytochrome c oxidase and the Y280H mutant from Paracoccus denitrificans. The stability of the binuclear center in the absence of the Tyr(280)-His(276) cross-link is not compromised since heme a(3) retains the same proximal environment, spin, and coordination state as in the wild type enzyme in both the oxidized...
