Description
Electrons that escape the electron transfer system without completing the reduction of oxygen to water at cytochrome c oxidase, 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 protonmotive force (ฮp). In some cases, the ฮp dependance relies more on the โpH component than in the โฮจ.
