bd Oxidase is a type of quinol-dependent terminal oxidase found exclusively in prokaryotes. With a very high oxygen affinity, bd oxidases play a vital role in the oxidative phosphorylation pathway in both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. bd oxidases responsibility in the oxidative phosphorylation pathway allows the protein to also assist as a key survival factor in the bacterial stress response against antibacterial drugs. Given this knowledge, bd oxidases have become an area of scientific research worth pursuing as they could serve as an ideal target for antimicrobial drug development. | bd Oxidase is a type of quinol-dependent terminal oxidase found exclusively in prokaryotes.

| - | This page will be specifically focusing on the structure and overall function of the 6RX4 bd oxidase. 6RX4 is a part of the long(L) quinol-binding domain subfamily that terminal oxidases are classified into. The L-subfamily of bd oxidases are responsible for the survival of acute infectious diseases such as E.Coli and salmonella. The 6RX4's three <scene name='83/832931/Heme/4'>heme</scene> groups, its periplasmically exposed <scene name='83/832924/Q_loop/3'>Q-loop</scene>, and four protein subunits will be of primary focus when identifying the relationship between structure and function. | + | This page will be specifically focusing on the structure and overall function of the 6RX4 bd oxidase. 6RX4 is a part of the long(L) quinol-binding domain subfamily that terminal oxidases are classified into.
