Heme arrangements for the organisms ''G. thermodenitrificans'' and ''E. coli''. Heme D (green); Heme B595 and Heme B558 shown in pink]] The structure of bd oxidase for ''Geobacillus thermodenitrificans'' is highly similar to the structure of bd oxidase for [[6rko|''E. coli'']] with the only noticeable difference being the length of the Q-loop.<ref name= ”Theßeling”>PMID:31723136</ref> The similarity and differences between the two proteins can be seen in the alignment of their main structures (Fig.5). Although only having one noticeable difference in structure, this difference causes the two proteins to have different active sites (Fig. 6). In particular, the <scene name='83/838655/Hemes_ecoli/2'> hemes of bd oxidase in E. coli </scene> are arranged differently than the <scene name='83/838655/Hemes/4'>hemes in ''Geobacillus thermodenitrificans''</scene>. The main reason for this change in heme arrangement is because of the <scene name='83/838655/Oxygen_site_ecoli/1'>oxygen binding site</scene> being located differently in ''E. coli'', thus causing a different active site arrangement in the protein.<ref name = ”Theßeling” />
