| + | The active site for Bd Oxidase in ''Geobacillus thermodenitrificans'' is located in subunit Cyd A. The site consists of three iron hemes that are held together in a rigid triangular arrangement (green link) due to van der wals interactions. The length between each heme's central iron is relatively constant which serves to shuttle protons and electrons from one heme to another efficiently. | ||
