Which two redox cofactors interact with the same complex in the electron transport chain?
A) UQ and oxygen
B) NAD+ and cytochrome c
C) UQ and cytochrome c
D) FAD and oxygen
In Complex III the Q-cycle contributes to the proton
gradient by an asymmetric absorption/release of protons. Two
electrons are removed from QH2 at the QO site and sequentially
transferred to two molecules of cytochrome c, a
water-soluble electron carrier located within the intermembrane
space. The two other electrons sequentially pass across the protein
to the Qi site where the quinone part of ubiquinone is reduced to
quinol. A proton gradient is formed by one quinol oxidations at the
Qo site to form one quinone at the Qi site.
Ans - UQ and cytochrome c
