The EPR spectral parameters of aa 3 oxidase and cyt c 552 from Paracoccus denitrificans were studied in purified oxidase and enriched cyt c 552 . The orientation of the g ‐tensors of hemes a and c 552 were determined on partially ordered membranes, enriched cyt c 552 and a c 552 : aa 3 subcomplex. The known correlation of g ‐tensor to molecular axes in histidine/methionine ligated hemes permits us to position cyt c 552 with respect to the parent membrane. Taken together with previous data on the interaction surface between aa 3 oxidase and cyt c 552 , these results allow us to arrive at a single conformation for the c 552 : aa 3 electron transfer complex.
