Abstract
Carboxyl groups of possible functional importance in bovine and bacterial cytochrome c oxidases (CcO) are reviewed and assessed. A critical analysis is presented of available mid-infrared vibrational data that pertain to these functional carboxyl groups. These data and their interpretations are discussed in relation to current models of the mechanism of proton and electron coupling in the protonmotive CcO superfamily.
