Cryo-EM structure of mycobacterial cytochrome bd reveals two oxygen access channels

Cytochromes bd oxidase (Cyt-bd) catalyzes the reduction of oxygen to water and is the terminal oxidase in the respiratory chain of prokaryotes. Here, the authors present the 2.8 Å cryo-EM structure of Mycobacterium smegmatis Cyt-bd and identify two potential oxygen access channels in the structure,...
