The resting as well as the 420 nm and 428 nm forms of cytochrome oxidase have been studied in kinetic experiments with an excess of enzyme over reduced cytochrome c. No difference was found in the behavior of the two activated forms. With all three forms, a fraction of cytochrome a was reoxidized with a rate which was much lower than kcat. This suggests that intramolecular transfer to the dioxygen-reducing site occurs only if both cytochrome a and CuA are reduced. An initial rapid phase in the oxidation of cytochrome a in the pulsed and oxygenated enzymes is related to the presence of a three-electron-reduced dioxygen intermediate. The increased catalytic activity of pulsed and oxygenated oxidase can be explained on the basis of a shift in the redox equilibrium between cytochrome a and CuA.
