Decay of the transient CuB-CO complex is accompanied by formation of the heme Fe-CO complex of cytochrome cbb3-CO at ambient temperature: Evidence from time-resolved fourier transform infrared spectroscopy
(2002)Time-resolved step-scan Fourier infrared spectroscopy has been used to study the CO-bound cbb3-type cytochrome c oxidase from Pseudomonas stutzeri at room temperature. We observe a single band in the FTIR spectrum at 1956 ...

Detection of the His-heme Fe2+-NO species in the reduction of NO to N2O by ba3-oxidase from thermus thermophilus
(2005)Reaction pathways in the enzymatic formation and cleavage of the N-N and N-O bonds, respectively, are difficult to verify without the structure of the intermediates, but we now have such information on the heme a3 2+-NO ...

Observation of the equilibrium CuB-CO complex and functional implications of the transient heme a3 propionates in cytochrome ba3-CO from Thermus thermophilus. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and time-resolved step-scan FTIR studies
(2002)We report the first evidence for the existence of the equilibrium CuB 1+-CO species of CO-bound reduced cytochrome ba3 from Thermus thermophilus at room temperature. The frequency of the C-O stretching mode of CuB 1+-CO ...

Probing the ligand recognition and discrimination environment of the globin-coupled oxygen sensor protein YddV by FTIR and time-resolved step-scan FTIR spectroscopy
(2015)YddV is a newly discovered signal transducer heme protein that recognizes O2 and CO. Structural differences in the ligand-bound heme complex in YddV reflect variations in catalytic regulation by O2 and CO. Time-resolved ...

Probing the nitrite and nitric oxide reductase activity of cbb3 oxidase: Resonance Raman detection of a six-coordinate ferrous heme-nitrosyl species in the binuclear b3/CuB center
(2015)In this work we report the first spectroscopic evidence demonstrating that cbb3 oxidase catalyzes the reduction of nitrite to nitrous oxide under reducing anaerobic conditions. The reaction proceeds through the formation ...
