Q-junction

Description

Q-junction

The Q-junction is a junction for convergent electron flow in the Electron transfer-pathway (ET-pathway) from type N substrates and mt-matix dehydrogenases through Complex I (CI), from type F substrates and FA oxidation through electron-transferring flavoprotein complex (CETF), from succinate (S) through Complex II (CII), from glycerophosphate (Gp) through glycerophosphate dehydrogenase complex (CGpDH), from choline through choline dehydrogenase, from dihydro-orotate through dihydro-orotate dehydrogenase, and other enzyme complexes into the Q-cycle (ubiquinol/ubiquinone), and further downstream to Complex III (CIII) and Complex IV (CIV). The concept of the Q-junction, with the N-junction and F-junction upstream, provides the rationale for defining Electron-transfer-pathway states and categories of SUIT protocols.

SUITbrowser question: Q-junction

Several SUIT protocols can be used to answer questions on additivity, or convergence of electron flow to the Q-junction.
The SUITbrowser can be used to find the best SUIT protocols for different research questions, among those:
  • Q-junction (NS)
  • Q-junction (FNS)
  • Q-junction (FNSGp)
