Abstract
Cytochrome c oxidase harnesses dioxygen (O2) as the terminal electron acceptor in the respiratory chains of mitochondria and many aerobic bacteria, and was appropriately named The Respiratory Enzyme (Das Atmungsferment) by Otto Warburg. Its catalytic activity completes the oxygen cycle in biology, which starts by the water-splitting reaction of photosynthesis, amply covered elsewhere in this volume. The mechanism of catalysis of cytochrome c oxidase is largely known today, but some uncertainty remains with respect to the ferric/cupric intermediate of the binuclear heme iron/copper centre, which is to be discussed here.
