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+ + 4e- → 2H₂O. The oxygen comes from the extracellular side of the protein, and enters through the oxygen entry site to <scene name='83/838655/Bd_oxidase_heme_d/2'>Heme D</scene>. This pathway is depicted in orange in Figure 4.
