Serial femtosecond crystallography structure of cytochrome c oxidase at room temperature

Abstract Cytochrome c oxidase catalyses the reduction of molecular oxygen to water while the energy released in this process is used to pump protons across a biological membrane. Although an extremely well-studied biological system, the molecular mechanism of proton pumping by cytochrome c oxidase i...
