The majority of modern organisms, including many prokaryotes, are aerobes; 1 that is, they
use molecular oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor for energy generation. Although …

It has been estimated that about 90% of the reduction of molecular oxygen in the biosphere
is catalyzed by respiratory oxidases (95). Much of this is accomplished by a wide variety of …

2 1 Introduction the most salient points are just that a molecule can exist in a variety of states
depending on how its electrons are distributed among a set of molecular orbitals, and that …

Publisher Summary The chapter discusses the respiratory chains and bioenergetics of
acetic acid bacteria. Acetic acid bacteria are obligate aerobes and well known as “vinegar …

The text will provide a set of problems covering mechanistic, structural and spectroscopic
issues in inorganic chemistry. Specific areas to be covered include coordination chemistry …

Biogenesis of respiratory cytochromes is defined as consisting of the posttranslational
processes that are necessary to assemble apoprotein, heme, and sometimes additional …

The cytochrome bc complex which is encoded by the fixNOPQ operon in
Bradyrhizobiumjaponicum, is the most distant member of the haem-copper cytochrome …

Assembly of the core subunits of theaa 3-type cytochrome c oxidase in mitochondria and
aerobic bacteria such as Rhodobacter sphaeroides requires the association of three …

As the final electron acceptor in the respiratory chain of eukaryotic and many prokaryotic
organisms, cytochrome c oxidase (EC 1.9. 3.1) catalyzes the reduction of oxygen to water …

Despite the importance of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans in bioremediation and bioleaching, little
is known about the genes encoding electron transfer proteins implicated in its energetic …
