Functions as
• Proton pump, and
• Catalyses transfer of electrons
This system catalyses transfer of electrons from
CoQ.H2 to Cyt-c via Cyt-b and Cyt-c1.
The electrons from CoQ.H2 is first accepted by
Cyt-b566 and then transferred to Cyt-b562,
which reduces Co.Q.H2 CoQ
CONT….
Fe+++ accepts electron and is oxidised to Fe++.
The system also acts as a proton pump. It is
believed that 4 (four) protons are pumped across the
mitochondrial membrane during the oxidation.
