CueO is a multicopoper oxidase (MCO) involved in the copper efflux system of Escherichia coli.[1, 2] The type I copper (T1Cu) in CueO mediates the process of electron transfer from the substrate to the trinuclear copper center (TNC) which is composed of a type II copper site (T2Cu) and a pair of type III copper sites (T3Cus (T3aCu and T3bCu)). O2, the final electron acceptor, binds to the TNC and is reduced to two water molecules.[3-6] Special attention has been paid on this O2 reduction mechanism of MCO to avoid to form or to release activated oxygen species. Only terminal oxidases such as cytochrome c oxidase catalyze this process except MCOs. Thus, MCOs have been expected to apply to biofuel cells as a cathodic enzyme. Two reaction intermediates in the four-electron O2 reduction process have been discovered and are known as, the intermediate I (peroxide intermediate) and intermediate II (native intermediate)(Figure 1). Intermediates I can be trapped during the course of reactions of the MCO derivatives such as: the Hg-substituted laccase at the T1Cu center,[7] the mixed valent laccase with T1Cu in the cupric state and T2Cu and T3Cus in the cuprous state,[8] CueO,[9] bilirubin oxidase,[10] and Fet3p,[11] in which the T1Cu site is vacant as a result of the replacement of the Cys ligand with Ser. Since the intermediate I does not have an electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) signal (Figure S1 in Supporting Information),[7-11] it has been proposed that a peroxide species is bound to the TNC in a μ-1, 2-peroxofashion, and accordingly, one of the three copper ions remains in the cuprous state. However, direct evidence to support the presence of peroxide or the oxidation state of the copper centers in the TNC has not been published. Thus, it
