6. Electron and proton transfer in cytochrome c oxidase
Abstract : This doctoral thesis describes results from studies on the mechanisms by which the enzyme cytochrome c oxidase catalyses the reduction of oxygen to water. Cytochrome c oxidase is the last integral enzyme complex of the socalled respiratory chain in the mitochondrial inner membrane (plasma membrane of bacteria). READ MORE

7. Proton, Electron, and O2 transfer in Cytochrome c Oxidase
Abstract : In mitochondria and aerobic bacteria energy conservation involves electron transfer through the membrane-bound protein of the respiratory chain to oxygen. Cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) catalyzes the reduction of oxygen to water. Part of the energy released in this reaction is used to pump protons across the membrane. READ MORE

8. Regulation of proton-coupled electron transfer in cytochrome c oxidase : The role of membrane potential, proton pathways and ATP
Abstract : Cytochrome c oxidase (CytcO) is the final electron acceptor of the respiratory chain. In this chain a current of electrons, derived from degradation of nutrients, along with protons, are used to reduce oxygen to water. The reaction is exergonic and the excess energy is used to pump protons across the membrane. READ MORE

9. Cytochrome c Oxidase dysfunction in cancer : Exploring the molecular mechanisms
Abstract : Mutations in genes encoding the mitochondrial enzyme Cytochrome c Oxidase (CytcO) have lately been found in connection to various types of cancer. Some mutations result in substitutions of highly conserved amino-acid residues. READ MORE
