a) At pH 7.5 and 303K. The average and the range of at least two different measurements is indicated.

b) At 1 mM CO or O2, pH 7.5 and T = 295K. The average of at least two independent experiments is given with the standard deviation (for wildtype, N>6 and E58cD and K54cA: N = 3) or with the range (N = 2).

c) % τ2 indicates the % of the total amplitude that is associated with the second phase at 430 nm.

d) Proton-coupled electron transfer during O2 reduction. The average of at least two independent experiments is given with the standard deviation (for wildtype, N = 12) or with the range (N = 2 or 3).
