The slow increase of a cyanide-induced optical change at 437 nm following rapid cyanide inhibition of cytochrome oxidase has been followed as a function of the number of electrons donated from ferrocytochromecto cytochromeaand Cua. The initial rate of optical change is a parabolic function of this number. The results have been analyzed in terms of a model where addition of electrons causes a conformational transition allowing rapid cyanide binding. The binding is followed by a slow intramolecular reaction responsible for the optical change. The analysis demonstrates that only molecules with both cytochromeaand Cuareduced can undergo the conformational change, which is suggested to be involved in the proton-pump mechanism of the oxidase.
