Abstract excerpt
One of the challenging features of energy-transducing terminal oxidases, like the aa3 cytochrome c oxidase of Paracoccus denitrificans, is the translocation of protons across the cytoplasmic membrane, which is coupled to the transfer of electrons to oxygen. As a prerequisite for a more advanced examination of the enzymatic properties, several amino acid residues, selected on the basis of recent three-dimensional...
