Dissociation of cytochrome oxidase-carbon monoxide complex in complete darkness

In the leaves of a number of plant species, dissociation of CO from the active site of cytochrome a 3-CO complex in complete darkness was observed when excess O 2 was supplied. This was detected by direct O 2 uptake and by the in vivo nitrate reductase test. Thus, in contrast to animal mitochondria,...
