Proton pumping ATPases are found in all groups of present day organisms. The F-ATPases of eubacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts also function as ATP synthases, i.e., they catalyze the final step that transforms the energy available from reduction/oxidation reactions (e.g., in photosynthesis) int

## ABSTRACT Proton pumping hemeβcopper oxidases represent the terminal, energyβtransfer enzymes of respiratory chains in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The Cu~B~βheme a~3~ (or heme o) binuclear center, associated with the largest subunit I of cytochrome c and quinol oxidases, is directly involved in t
There are few explanations which account for the manner in which the catastrophic physiological consequences of anaesthesia, cold narcosis or, for that matter, a short, sharp upper-cut, come about. Most studies terminate with the presentation of ever-better correlations between an end-point in a mod
The proton pump of purple bacteria is based on the photoinduced trans to cis isomerization of the Schiff base of retinal and the thermal cis-trans reisomerization accompanied by a shift of a proton from the cytoplasm to the extracellular space. Quantum mechanical calculations reveal, in exciting the
