Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and step-scan time-resolved FTIR spectroscopies reveal a unique active site in cytochrome caa3 oxidase from Thermus thermophilus

Pinakoulaki, Eftychia; Soulimane, T.; Varotsis, Constantinos (2002)

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and step-scan time-resolved FTIR difference spectra are reported for the [carbonmonoxy]cytochrome caa3 from Thermus thermophilus. A major C-O mode of heme a3 at 1958 cm-1 and two minor ...

Simultaneous resonance Raman detection of the heme a3-Fe-CO and CuB-CO species in CO-bound ba3-cytochrome c oxidase from Thermus thermophilus: Evidence for a charge transfer CuB-CO transition

Pinakoulaki, Eftychia; Ohta, T.; Soulimane, T.; Kitagawa, T.; Varotsis, Constantinos (2004)

Understanding of the chemical nature of the dioxygen and nitric oxide moiety of ba3-cytochrome c oxidase from Thermus thermophilus is crucial for elucidation of its physiological function. In the present work, direct ...

Time-resolved step-scan Fourier transform infrared investigation of heme-copper oxidases: Implications for O2 input and H 2O/H+ output channels

Koutsoupakis, Constantinos; Pinakoulaki, Eftychia; Stavrakis, Stavros; Daskalakis, Vangelis; Varotsis, Constantinos (2004)

We have applied FTIR and time-resolved step-scan Fourier transform infrared (TRS2-FTIR) spectroscopy to investigate the dynamics of the heme-CuB binuclear center and the protein dynamics of mammalian aa3, Pseudomonas ...
