Despite its critical role in respiration, failure to capture the mechanism of quinol oxidation and inhibition prohibits structure guided drug discovery. Here, we present cryo-electron microscopy structures of cytochrome -I in monomeric and dimeric forms, in several quinone and inhibitor-bound states. We identify a dynamic Q-loop lid that undergoes a disorder-to-order transition upon substrate binding to the dimer, completing the active site and enabling catalysis. Structure-guided mutagenesis confirms Tyr243 and Arg298 as conserved catalytic residues only found in long Q-loop oxidases, highlighting evolutionary divergence from other subfamilies. Inhibition by Aurachin D triggers refolding of the active site, occluding substrate access via an Asp239-mediated mechanism. The structural and mechanistic insights presented here establish a comprehensive framework, opening paths for drug discovery against oxidases. | |||||||||
