Fourier transform infrared evidence for a ferric six-coordinate nitrosylheme b3 complex of cytochrome cbb3 oxidase from Pseudomonas stutzeri at ambient temperature
(2002)We report the first vibrational study of NO bound to an oxidized heme-copper oxidase. Cytochrome cbb3 oxidase from P. stutzeri reduces both O2 and NO to H2O and N2O, respectively. The ferric nitrosyl complex of cbb3 exhibits ...
