Description
The Q-junction is a junction for convergent electron flow in the electron transfer system (ETS) from Complex I (CI), Complex II (CII), electron-transferring flavoprotein complex (CETF), glycerophosphate dehydrogenase complex (CGpDH), choline dehydrogenase, dihydro-orotate dehydrogenase, and other enzyme complexes into the Q-cycle (ubiquinol/ubiquinone), and further to Complex III (CIII). The concept of the Q-junction, N-junction and F-junction provides the rationale for defining categories of SUIT protocols.
