Abstract
Structural Biology Respiratory complexes are massive, membrane-embedded scaffolds that position redox cofactors so as to permit electron transfer coupled to the movement of protons across a membrane. Gong et al. used cryo–electron microscopy to determine a structure of a stable assembly of mycobacterial complex III–IV, in which a complex III dimer is sandwiched between two complex IV monomers. A potential direct electron transfer path stretches from the quinone oxidizing centers in complex III to the oxygen reduction centers in complex IV. A loosely associated superoxide dismutase may play a role in detoxifying superoxide produced from uncoupled oxygen reduction. Science , this issue p.
