Protonmotive mechanism of heme-copper oxidases

Protonmotive mechanism of heme-copper oxidases

The mechanism of coupling of proton and electron transfer in oxidases is reviewed and related to the structural information that is now available. A "glutamate trap" mechanism for proton/electron coupling is described.
