Table 1.

Kinetic parameters for steady state turnover of AA-inhibited cyt bc1 complex. fSOP is the fraction of Q-cycle bypass reactions resulting in superoxide production derived from the superoxide dismutase sensitivity of cyt c reduction in the AA-inhibited complex. Product inhibition constants Ki for a mixed inhibition model are for uninhibited steady –state turnover driven by decyl-ubiquinol. Km and Ki are reported in units of μM. Rates of quinol oxidation are given in s−1 from total bypass reactions (Vmax(bypass)) and from superoxide-producing bypass reaction (Vmax(SO)). In two cases, Vmax(SO) could not be measured but is estimated as a range: 0.5–0.75 Vmax(bypass) covering the range of measured fSOP. Rates noted in italics were measured by stopped flow. The shift in redox potential for the Q/QH2 couple based on measured values of Km and the competitive Ki are reported in V.
