The reduction of dioxygen to water by cytochromecoxidase was monitored in the Soret region following photolysis of the fully reduced CO complex. Time-resolved optical absorption difference spectra collected between 373 and 521 nm were measured at delay times from 50 ns to 50 ms and analyzed using singular value decomposition and multiexponential fitting. Five processes were resolved with apparent lifetimes of 0.9 μs, 8 μs, 36 μs, 103 μs, and 1.2 ms. A mechanism is proposed and spectra of intermediates are extracted and compared to model spectra of the postulated intermediates. The model builds on an earlier mechanism that used data only from the visible region (Sucheta et al. (1997)Biochemistry36, 554−565) and provides a more complete mechanism that fits results from both spectral regions. Intermediate 3, the ferrous−oxy complex (compound A) decays into a 607 nm species, generally referred to as P, which is converted to a 580 nm ferryl form (Fo) on a significantly faster time scale. The equilibrium constant between P and Fois 1. We propose that the structure of P isa34+O CuB2+−OH-with an oxidizing equivalent residing on tyrosine 244, located close to the binuclear center. Upon conversion of P to Fo, cytochromeadonates an electron to the tyrosine radical, forming tyrosinate. Subsequently a proton is taken up by tyrosinate, forming FI[a34+O CuB2+−OH-a3+CuA+]. This is followed by rapid electron transfer from CuAto cytochromeato produce FII[a34+O CuB2+−OH-a2+CuA2+].
