Visualizing the mechanism of quinol oxidation and inhibition of a bd-type oxidase using cryo-EM

Tijn T. van der Velden, Kanwal Kayastha, Famke Pelser…·Lars J. C. Jeuken

The paper presents cryo-EM structures of Escherichia coli cytochrome bd-I to elucidate its mechanism of quinol oxidation and inhibition, identifying key residues and structural changes involved in catalysis and drug binding.
