Electron transfer rate, Cyt b6f-1 · s-1 Superoxide production rate Cyt b6f-1 · s-1 Superoxide production (% electron transfer rate)
Control, no inhibitor 245 ± 25 (n=10) 4.5 ± 0.6 (n=10) 1.9 ± 0.3
NQNO, 5 μM 196 ± 7 (n=3) 3.5 ± 0.4 (n=3) 1.8 ± 0.2
DBMIB, 4 μM n.d. (n=4) n.d. (n=3) -

n, number of trials; n.d., rate too small to allow accurate determination.
