Carboxyl groups of possible functional importance in bovine and bacterial cytochrome c oxidases (CcO) are reviewed and assessed. A critical analysis is presented of available mid-infrared vibrational data that pertain to these functional carboxyl groups. These data and their interpretations are discussed in relation to current models of the mechanism of proton and electron coupling in the protonmotive CcO superfamily.
本文综述并评估了牛和细菌细胞色素c氧化酶(CcO)中可能具有功能重要性的羧基。对与这些功能性羧基相关的现有中红外振动数据进行了批判性分析。结合质子动力CcO超家族中质子和电子耦合机制的当前模型,讨论了这些数据及其解释。
