Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial encoded subunit II of cytochrome c oxidase carries the metal center, which acts as the initial acceptor of electrons from cytochrome c. Among the conserved features of this protein is a region in which five aromatic and three non-aromatic amino acids are conserved in a wide variety of organisms. This aromatic region has been postulated to be involved in transfer of electrons from the copper center...
