Decay of the Transient CU[sub B]-Co Complex Is Accompanied by Formation of the Heme Fe-CO Complex of Cytochrome cbb[sub 3]-CO at Ambient Temperature: Evidence from Time-Resolved Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy.

Examines the influence of the heme Fe-CO complex of cytochrome cbb[sub 3]-CO at ambient temperature formation on the decay of the transient Cu[sub B]-CO complex. Use of time-resolved fourier transform infrared spectroscopy; Catalyzation of molecular oxygen reduction by the complex; Importance of photodynamics of cbb[sub 3]-CO for elucidating the mechanisms for legal entry/exit in heme-cooper oxidase.
