  • Title: Location of the heme groups in cytochrome cd1 oxidase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
    Author: Mitra S, Bersohn R.
    Journal: Biochemistry; 1980 Jul 08; 19(14):3200-3. PubMed ID: 6250556.
    Abstract:
    The disposition of the heme groups in cytochrome cd1 oxidase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa is studied by emission spectroscopy. This protein of molecular weight 120 000 is composed of two monomers each with a heme c and a heme d1. It has been shown by electron microscopy to be oblong in shape and by preliminary X-ray crystallography to have a twofold axis of rotation. Three electronic energy donors, a singlet tryptophan, a triplet tryptophan, and an attached 8-dimethylamino-1-naphthalenesulfonyl group, all exhibit normal decay lifetimes. It follows that there are parts of the protein at least 80 A from the nearest heme. The conclusion is that the hemes are all at one end of the molecule.
