Cytochrome c oxidase (CcO), the terminal oxidase of cell respiration, reduces molecular
oxygen (O2) in a reaction that is coupled with proton pumping. Since the discovery of this …

Cytochrome c oxidase catalyzes the reduction of molecular oxygen to water, a process in
which four electrons, four protons, and one molecule of oxygen are consumed. The reaction …

Phototherapy uses monochromatic light in the optical region of 600–1000nm to treat in a
non-destructive and non-thermal fashion various soft-tissue and neurological conditions …

The crystal structures of cytochrome c oxidase from both bovine and Paracoccus
denitrificans reveal two putative proton input channels that connect the heme-copper center …

The number of cells attached to glass substratum increases if HeLa cell suspension is
irradiated with monochromatic visible‐to‐near infrared radiation before plating (the action …

In aerobic organisms, cellular respiration involves electron transfer to oxygen through a
series of membrane-bound protein complexes. The process maintains a transmembrane …

Cytochrome c oxidase catalyzes most of the biological oxygen consumption on Earth, a
process responsible for energy supply in aerobic organisms. This remarkable membrane …

Membrane-bound cytochrome c oxidase catalyzes cell respiration in aerobic organisms and
is a primary energy transducer in biology. The two halves of the catalytic cycle may be …

Cytochrome c oxidase catalyzes the reduction of oxygen to water that is accompanied by
pumping of four protons across the mitochondrial or bacterial membrane. Triggered by the …

During each turnover of cytochrome oxidase (dioxygen reduced to water), eight protons are
taken up from the inside of the membrane, four protons being used for chemistry (water …
