Description
Reference: A: protocol for determination of O2 flux in mitochondrial preparations (isolated mitochondria, tissue homogenate and permeabilized cells)- SUIT-032
SUIT number: D109_mt;1PGM;2D;3Myx.png
O2k-Application: O2
The coupling-control protocol SUIT-032 O2 mt D109 is used as a control protocol for SUIT-032 NADH mt D078, allowing for cytochrome c test and the evaluation of mitochondrial respiration in two coupling control states: LEAK, and OXPHOS in the N-pathway
After the addition of mitochondria in the absence of fuel substrates and ADP, Ren, respiration due to oxidation of endogenous substrates remaining after mitochondrial isolation is measured.
The addition of the complex III inhibitor myxothiazol allows the measurement of Rox.

Strengths and limitations
- Control protocol of SUIT-032 NADH mt D078 for respiration only, allowing for cytochrome c test.
- + Reasonable duration of the experiment.
- - Careful washing is required after the experiment to avoid carry-over of inhibitors. The addition of liver homogenate is recommended in the washing protocol to bind strong inhibitors.
- After myxothyazol titration, this protocol can be extended with the Complex IV assay.
Compare SUIT protocols
- SUIT-032 NADH mt D078: Similar protocol with the possibility to perform simultaneous determination of O2 flux and NADH autofluorescence in isolated mitochondria.
Chemicals and syringes
If the experiment is performed as a control for D078, we recommend using the same chemicals.
