1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The redox-driven proton pump cytochrome c oxidase is that enzymatic machinery of the respiratory chain that transfers electrons from cytochrome c to molecular oxygen and thereby splits molecular oxygen to form water. To investigate the reaction mechanism of cytochrome c oxidase on the single vibrational level, we used time-resolved step-scan Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and studied the dynamics of the reduced enzyme after photodissociation of bound carbon monoxide across the mid-infrared range (2300-950 cm(-1)). Difference spectra of the bovine complex were obtained at -20 degrees C with 5 micros time resolution. The data demonstrate a dynamic link between the transient binding of CO to Cu(B) and changes in hydrogen bonding at the functionally important residue E(I-286). Variation of the pH revealed that the pK(a) of E(I-286) is >9.3 in the fully reduced CO-bound oxidase. Difference spectra of cytochrome c oxidase from beef heart are compared with those of the oxidase isolated from Rhodobacter sphaeroides. The bacterial enzyme does not show the environmental change in the vicinity of E(I-286) upon CO dissociation. The characteristic band shape appears, however, in redox-induced difference spectra of the bacterial enzyme but is absent in redox-induced difference spectra of mammalian enzyme. In conclusion, it is demonstrated that the dynamics of a large protein complex such as cytochrome c oxidase can be resolved on the single vibrational level with microsecond Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The applied methodology provides the basis for future investigations of the physiological reaction steps of this important enzyme.
