Abstract
This paper explores the proton pumping function of cytochrome c oxidase [ferrocytochrome-c:oxygen oxidoreductase (EC 1.9.3.1)] based upon redox linkage at the "high-potential" CU(B) center. A model is proposed that is derived from a redox-linked ligand exchange mechanism previously described for the Cu(A) site. Qualitative analysis of this mechanism indicates that such a mechanism is feasible. However, the relatively short distance between Cu(B) and cytochrome a3 implies that the uncoupling electron transfers are quite facile. In addition, the position of the Cu(B) center with respect to the inner mitochondrial membrane argues against redox linkage at the Cu(B) site.
