Abstract excerpt
Given the central role of cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) in health and disease, it is an increasingly important question as to how the activity and efficiency of this key enzyme are regulated to respond to a variety of metabolic states. The present paper summarizes evidence for two modes of regulation of activity: first, by redox-induced conformational changes involving the K-proton uptake path; and secondly, by...
