indophenolase (medicine) and David, King (oh)


indophenolase (medicine)


indophenolase -->
cytochrome-c oxidase
<enzyme> An enzyme complex of the inner mitochondrial membrane that catalyses the reaction between ferrocytochrome c and oxygen to yield ferricytochrome c and water.

It is associated with the pumping of protons and the resultant phosphorylation of ADP to ATP. The reaction is the terminal event in the electron transport scheme by which oxygen is used for fuel combustion. It is a part of Complex IV of the respiratory chain.

A deficiency of one or more of the polypeptides of this complex results in neuronal loss in brain leading to psychomotor retardation and neurodegenerative disease.

Synonym: cytochrome aa3, indophenol oxidase, indophenolase. Chemical name: Ferricytochrome-c:oxygen oxidoreductase

Registry number: EC 1.9.3.1


David, King (oh)



(died around 962 BC) in the Old Testament of the Bible, one of the Kings of Israel. When David was a boy, he killed the giant (=a very tall, strong man) Goliath by hitting him on the head with a stone thrown from his sling . People sometimes use the names David and Goliath to describe a situation in which a small and less powerful person or group is fighting a much larger and more powerful person or group.
