===Mechanism===
Quinol is used as the initial electron donor  and heme b<sub>558</sub> is the initial electron acceptor.  <scene name='83/832931/Heme/6'>Heme b<sub>558</sub></scene> transfers the electrons to <scene name='83/832931/Heme/6'>heme b<sub>595</sub></scene>, which transfers the electrons to <scene name='83/832931/Heme/6'>heme d</scene>.  Concurrently, the <scene name='83/832931/Overall_h_channel/1'>H-channel</scene> will collect protons and <scene name='83/832931/O_channel_overall/2'>o-channel</scene> will collect oxygen atoms that will flow to heme d (Fig. 3).  With electrons, oxygen, and protons available, heme d can successfully reduce dioxygen to water (Fig. 4).
