The spectral and kinetic characteristics of two oxidized states of bovine heart cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) have been compared. The first is the oxidized state of enzyme isolated in the fast form (O) and the second is the form that is obtained immediately after oxidation of fully reduced CcO with O2 (OH). No observable differences were found between O and OH states in: (i) the rate of anaerobic reduction of heme a3 for both the detergent-solubilized enzyme and for enzyme embedded in its natural membraneous environment, (ii) the one-electron distribution between heme a3 and CuB in the course of the full anaerobic reduction, (iii) the optical and (iv) EPR spectra. Within experimental error of these characteristics both forms are identical. Based on these observations it is concluded that the reduction potentials and the ligation states of heme a3 and CuB are the same for CcO in the O and OH states.

D003576 Electron Transport Complex IV A multisubunit enzyme complex containing CYTOCHROME A GROUP; CYTOCHROME A3; two copper atoms; and 13 different protein subunits. It is the terminal oxidase complex of the RESPIRATORY CHAIN and collects electrons that are transferred from the reduced CYTOCHROME C GROUP and donates them to molecular OXYGEN, which is then reduced to water. The redox reaction is simultaneously coupled to the transport of PROTONS across the inner mitochondrial membrane.

D004578 Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy A technique applicable to the wide variety of substances which exhibit paramagnetism because of the magnetic moments of unpaired electrons. The spectra are useful for detection and identification, for determination of electron structure, for study of interactions between molecules, and for measurement of nuclear spins and moments. (From McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, 7th edition) Electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy is a variant of the technique which can give enhanced resolution. Electron spin resonance analysis can now be used in vivo, including imaging applications such as MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING.
