Abstract excerpt
The cytochrome bd oxidase is one of two terminal oxidases in the aerobic respiratory chain of Escherichia coli. The complex is composed of two subunits (I and II) and three heme prosthetic groups (heme b558, heme b595, and a chlorin, called heme d). Both subunits are located within the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane, and each has multiple putative transmembrane helices. Heme b558 is a six-coordinate, low-spin...
