| Research Abstract |
Cytochrome c oxidase plays an essentially important function in cell respiration to maintain life, and catalyzes dioxygen reduction to water, which is coupled with proton pumping across the membrane. In order to elucidate the mechanism of this enzyme, high resolution structures at a picometer level are to be determined by resonance Raman spectroscopy. In the present study, we have established assignments of some Raman siganals. In addition, an intermediate conformational state and cooperative dynamics of the two hemes have been detected, which are essential for an efficient proton pump.
