Description
Electrons that escape the electron transfer system without completing the reduction of oxygen to water at cytochrome c, causing the production of ROS. The rate of electron leak depends on the topology of the complex, the redox state of the moiety responsible of electron leakiness and usually on the Ξp. In some cases, the Ξp dependance relies more on the βpH component than in the βΞ¨.
