  1. 6. Proton transfer in nitric oxide reducing heme-copper oxidases

    Författare :Joachim Reimann; Pia Ädelroth; Peter Brzezinski; Michael Wilson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; heme-copper oxidases; nitric oxide; proton transfer; electron transfer; proton-transfer pathway; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Sammanfattning : Heme-copper oxidases (HCuOs) are best known as terminal oxidases in the aerobic respiratory chain, in which they catalyze the reduction of oxygen to water. By receiving protons and electrons from opposite sides of the membrane as well as pumping protons, HCuOs contribute to the electrochemical proton gradient over the membrane that can be used for ATP synthesis.

  3. 7. Kinetics of proton and electron transfer in heme-copper oxidases

    Författare :Peter Lachmann; Pia Ädelroth; Örjan Hansson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Heme-copper oxidase; electron transfer; proton transfer; nitric oxide reductase; ba3 oxidase; flow-flash; laser-flash photolysis; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Sammanfattning : Heme-copper oxidases are transmembrane proteins that are found in aerobic and anaerobic respiratory chains. During aerobic respiration, these enzymes reduce dioxygen to water. The energy released in the reaction is used to transport protons across a biological membrane. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Electron and Proton Transfer in Nitric Oxide Reductase : NO Binding, NO Reduction and no Pumping

    Författare :Peter Lachmann; Pia Ädelroth; Peter Brzezinski; Fahmi Himo; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Flow-Flash; Nitric Oxide Reductase; Heme Copper Oxidase;

    Sammanfattning : Nitric oxide reductase (NOR) from Paracoccus denitrificans catalyzes the two electronreduction of NO to N2O (2NO + 2H+ + 2e- → N2O + H2O) as part of the process ofdenitrification, the step-wise reduction of nitrate to dinitogen. The NOR-catalyzedreaction is central in the nitrogen cycle, since in this step the N=N double bond isformed. LÄS MER
