Abstract excerpt
Heme-copper oxidases in the respiratory chain are classified into three subfamilies: A-, B- and C-types. Cytochrome bo(3)-type cytochrome c oxidase from thermophilic Bacillus is a B-type oxidase that is thought to interact with cytochrome c through hydrophobic interactions. This is in contrast to A-type oxidases, which bind cytochrome c molecules primarily through electrostatic forces between acidic residues in...
