High resolution structure of the ba3 cytochrome c oxidase from Thermus thermophilus in a lipidic environment.
The fundamental chemistry underpinning aerobic life on Earth involves reduction of dioxygen to water with concomitant proton translocation. This process is catalyzed by members of the heme-copper oxidase (HCO) superfamily. Despite the availability of crystal structures for all types of HCO, the mode...
