A schematic representation of the His-E7 gate hypothesis, in which molecular oxygen can enter and exit the distal site due to the movement of the histidine at position 7 of helix E (His-E7). The heme group (yellow) and His-E7 in the open and closed conformations are shown. The protonated state was chosen arbitrarily for schematic proposes.
