title: Comparison of the data, analysis, and results of X-ray absorption studies of cytochrome c oxidase.
abstract: Differences in the methods of analysis of X-ray absorption data used by Powers et al. [Powers, L., Blumberg, W. E., Chance, B., Barlow, C., Leigh, J., Jr., Smith, J., Yonetani, T., Vik, S., & Peisach, J. (1979) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 547, 520-538; Powers, L., Chance, B., Ching, Y., & Angiolillo, P. (1981) Biophys. J. 34, 465-498] and Scott et al. [Scott, R., Schwartz, J., & Cramer S. (1986) Biochemistry 25, 5546-5555] are clarified. In addition, we compare the X-ray absorption data and results for resting cytochrome c oxidase reported by both groups using the same analysis method and conclude apart from any assumptions that the data are not identical.
