As mentioned above, the purpose of the bd oxidase is to reduce O₂ to 2H₂O using quinol as the reducing substrate, and having the overall reaction of O₂ + 4H<sup>+</sup> + 4e<sup>-</sup> → 2H₂O. The oxygen comes from the extracellular side of the protein, and enters through the oxygen entry site to Heme D. This pathway is depicted in <font color='orange'><b>orange</b></font> in Figure 4. | As mentioned above, the purpose of the bd oxidase is to reduce O₂ to 2H₂O using quinol as the reducing substrate, and having the overall reaction of O₂ + 4H<sup>+</sup> + 4e<sup>-</sup> → 2H₂O.
