(15) During respiration, an exogenous donor, cytochrome c, donates four electrons to O2 bound at the bimetallic haem alpha 3 Fe-Cu centre within the enzyme.
(16) The effect of different sodium chloride concentrations on the integrated currents (charge transfers) between dental amalgams and a gold alloy was studied in a bimetallic cell containing saliva or saline solutions.
(17) This is considerably slower than the maximal rates observed for electron transfer between cytochrome a and the bimetallic site found in earlier work and suggests rate limitation by other processes.
(18) The bimetallic haem iron-copper reaction centre in this family of enzymes is the critical structure for catalysis of both these processes.
(19) The bimetallic super-coiling might contribute to the power-stroke.
(20) Interestingly, in these circumstances (azide and uncoupler present), Fea behaves as if it were no longer the kinetically controlling electron donor to the bimetallic center.
