Homologous bd oxidases share the same architecture but differ in mechanism

Cytochrome bd oxidases couple quinol oxidation and the release of protons to the periplasmic side with proton uptake from the cytoplasmic side to reduce dioxygen to water and they are the terminal reductases in bacterial and archaeal respiratory chains. Here the authors present the cryo-EM structure...
