| Abstract | Cytochrome bd is a terminal quinol:O2 oxidoreductase of respiratory chains of many bacteria. It contains three hemes, b 558, b 595, and d. The role of heme b 595 remains obscure. A CO photolysis/recombination study of the membranes of Escherichia coli containing either wild type cytochrome bd or inactive E445A mutant was performed using nanosecond absorption spectroscopy. We compared photoinduced changes of heme d-CO complex in one-electron-reduced, two-electron-reduced, and fully-reduced states of cytochromes bd. The line shape of spectra of photodissociation of one-electron-reduced and two-electron-reduced enzymes is strikingly different from that of the fully-reduced enzyme. The difference demonstrates that in the fully-reduced enzyme photolysis of CO from heme d perturbs ferrous heme b 595 causing loss of an absorption band centered at 435 nm, thus supporting interactions between heme b 595 and heme d in the di-heme oxygen-reducing site, in agreement with previous works. Photolyzed CO recombines with the fully-reduced enzyme monoexponentially with τ ~12 µs, whereas recombination of CO with one-electron-reduced cytochrome bd shows three kinetic phases, with τ ~14 ns, 14 µs, and 280 µs. The spectra of the absorption changes associated with these components are different in line shape. The 14 ns phase, absent in the fully-reduced enzyme, reflects geminate recombination of CO with part of heme d. The 14 µs component reflects bimolecular recombination of CO with heme d and electron backflow from heme d to hemes b in ~4% of the enzyme population. The final, 280 µs component, reflects return of the electron from hemes b to heme d and bimolecular recombination of CO in that population. The fact that even in the two-electron-reduced enzyme, a nanosecond geminate recombination is observed, suggests that namely the redox state of heme b 595, and not that of heme b 558, controls the pathway(s) by which CO migrates between heme d and the medium. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
