Significance: Cytochrome bd is a ubiquinol: oxygen oxidoreductase of many prokaryotic
respiratory chains with a unique structure and functional characteristics. Its primary role is to …

Cytochrome bd is a triheme copper-free terminal oxidase in membrane respiratory chains of
prokaryotes. This unique molecular machine couples electron transfer from quinol to O2 with …

Cytochrome bd oxidases are terminal reductases of bacterial and archaeal respiratory
chains. The enzyme couples the oxidation of ubiquinol or menaquinol with the reduction of …

Cytochrome bd quinol: O2 oxidoreductases are respiratory terminal oxidases so far only
identified in prokaryotes, including several pathogenic bacteria. Escherichia coli contains …

Terminal oxidases of aerobic respiratory chains catalyze the transfer of electrons from the
respiratory substrate, cytochrome c or quinol, to O 2 with the formation of two H 2 O …

Bacteria can not only encounter carbon monoxide (CO) in their habitats but also produce the
gas endogenously. Bacterial respiratory oxidases, thus, represent possible targets for CO …

Cytochrome bd (cyt-bd) oxygen reductases have a high affinity to oxygen and use the two
electrons provided by ubiquinol or menaquinol, like in mycobacteria, to reduce oxygen to …

Cytochrome bds are bacterial terminal oxidases expressed under low oxygen conditions,
and they are important for the survival of many pathogens and hence potential drug targets …

Cytochrome bd oxidase is a bacterial terminal oxygen reductase that was suggested to
enable adaptation to different environments and to confer resistance to stress conditions. An …

Efficiently carrying out the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is critical for many applications
in biology and chemistry, such as bioenergetics and fuel cells, respectively. In biology, this …
