Abstract excerpt
To characterize protein structures that control proton uptake, we assayed forms of cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) containing a carboxyl or a thiol group in line with the initial, internal waters of the D pathway for proton transfer in the presence and absence of subunit III. Subunit III provides approximately half of the protein surrounding the entry region of the D pathway. The N139D/D132N mutant contains a carboxyl...
