Abstract: Questions with regards to the binding of formate to the binuclear site of bovine cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) by perfusion-induced attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) are addressed. Data show unequivocally that formate binds in its anionic form despite its binding being electroneutral overall.
