Abstract

The H+/e- stoichiometry of protonmotive cytochrome c oxidase, isolated from bovine heart mitochondria and reconstituted in liposomes, has been determined by making use of direct spectrophotometric measurements of the initial rates of e- flow and H+ translocation. It is shown that the ----H+/e- ratio for redox-linked proton ejection by the oxidase varies from around 0 to a maximum of 1 as a function of the rate of overall electron flow in the complex.
