Description
The free ETS capacity, βE, is the ETS capacity corrected for LEAK respiration, βE = E-L. βE is the respiratory capacity potentially available for ion transport and phosphorylation of ADP to ATP. Oxygen consumption in the ETS state, therefore, is partitioned into the free ETS capacity, βE, and resting LEAK respiration, LP, compensating for proton leaks, slip and cation cycling: E = βE+LP (see free OXPHOS capacity).
