Discrimination between two possible reaction sequences that create potential risk of generation of deleterious radicals by cytochrome bc(1): Implications for the mechanism of superoxide production

In addition to its bioenergetic function of building up proton motive force, cytochrome bc(1) can be a source of superoxide. One-electron reduction of oxygen is believed to occur from semiquinone (SQ(o)) formed at the quinone oxidation/reduction Q(o) site (Q(o)) as a result of single-electron oxidat...
