The ratio of elementary charges per reacting O<sub>2</sub> molecule (''z''<sub>O<small>2</small></sub>=4) is multiplied by the elementary charge (''e'', coulombs per proton), which yields coulombs per O<sub>2</sub> [C∙x<sup>-1</sup>].

  • Oxygen solubility factor  + (The '''oxygen solubility factor''' of the The '''oxygen solubility factor''' of the incubation medium, ''F''<sub>M</sub>, expresses the effect of the salt concentration on [[oxygen solubility]] relative to pure water. In mitochondrial respiration medium [[MiR05]], [[MiR05-Kit]] and [[MiR06]], ''F''<sub>M</sub> is 0.92 (determined at 30 and 37 °C) and in culture media is 0.89 (at 37 °C). ''F''<sub>M</sub> varies depending on the temperature and composition of the medium. To determine the FM based on the oxygen concentration, specific methods and equipment are needed (see references Rasmussen HN, Rasmussen UF 2003 in [https://wiki.oroboros.at/index.php/MiPNet06.03_POS-calibration-SOP MiPNet06.03]). For other media, ''F''<sub>M</sub> may be estimated using Table 4 in [https://wiki.oroboros.at/index.php/MiPNet06.03_POS-calibration-SOP MiPNet06.03]. For this purpose KCl based media can be described as "seawater" of varying salinity. The original data on sucrose and KCl-media (Reynafarje et al 1985), however, have been critizesed as artefacts and the ''F''<sub>M</sub> of 0.92 is suggested in the temperature range of 10 °C to 40 °C as for MiR05.<sub>M</sub> of 0.92 is suggested in the temperature range of 10 °C to 40 °C as for MiR05.)

The inverse of oxygen solubility is related to the [[activity]] of dissolved oxygen. The oxygen solubility in solution, ''S''<sub>O<sub>2</sub></sub>(aq), depends on temperature and the concentrations of solutes in solution, whereas the dissolved oxygen concentration at equilibrium with air, ''c''<sub>O<sub>2</sub></sub><sup>*</sup>(aq), depends on ''S''<sub>O<sub>2</sub></sub>(aq), barometric pressure and temperature. ''S''<sub>O<sub>2</sub></sub>(aq) in pure water is 10.56 µM/kPa at 37 °C and 12.56 µM/kPa at 25 °C. At standard [[barometric pressure]] (100 kPa), ''c''<sub>O<sub>2</sub></sub><sup>*</sup>(aq) is 207.3 µM at 37 °C (19.6 kPa partial oxygen pressure) or 254.7 µM at 25 °C (20.3 kPa partial oxygen pressure).

According to the gas law, the partial oxygen pressure is ''p''<sub>O<sub>2</sub>(g)</sub> = ''n''<sub>O<sub>2</sub>(g)</sub>·''V''·''RT'', where the [[concentration]] is ''c''<sub>O<sub>2</sub>(g)</sub> = ''n''<sub>O<sub>2</sub>(g)</sub>·''V''<sup>-1</sup> [mol·m<sup>-3</sup>], ''R'' is the [[gas constant]], and ''T'' is the absolute temperature, and ''RT'' is expressed in units of chemical force [J·mol<sup>-1</sup>].

  • Protonmotive force  + (The '''protonmotive force''' ∆<sub>mThe '''protonmotive force''' ∆<sub>m</sub>''F''<sub>H<sup>+</sup></sub> is known as Δp in Peter Mitchell’s chemiosmotic theory [1], which establishes the link between electric and chemical components of energy transformation and coupling in [[oxidative phosphorylation]]. The unifying concept of the ''pmF'' ranks among the most fundamental theories in biology. As such, it provides the framework for developing a consistent theory and nomenclature for mitochondrial physiology and bioenergetics. The protonmotive force is not a vector force as defined in physics. This conflict is resolved by the generalized formulation of isomorphic, compartmental [[force]]s, ∆<sub>tr</sub>''F'', in energy (exergy) transformations [2]. Protonmotive means that there is a potential for the movement of protons, and force is a measure of the potential for motion.</br></br>The ''pmF'' is generated in [[oxidative phosphorylation]] by oxidation of reduced fuel substrates and reduction of O<sub>2</sub> to H<sub>2</sub>O, driving the coupled proton translocation from the mt-matrix space across the mitochondrial inner membrane (mtIM) through the proton pumps of the [[electron transfer pathway]] (ETS), which are known as respiratory Complexes CI, CIII and CIV. ∆<sub>m</sub>''F''<sub>H<sup>+</sup></sub> consists of two partial isomorphic forces: (''1'') The chemical part, ∆<sub>d</sub>''F''<sub>H<sup>+</sup></sub>, relates to the diffusion (d) of uncharged particles and contains the chemical potential difference<sup>§</sup> in H<sup>+</sup>, ∆''µ''<sub>H<sup>+</sup></sub>, which is proportional to the pH difference, ∆pH. (''2'') The electric part, ∆<sub>el</sub>''F''<sub>p<sup>+</sup></sub> (corresponding numerically to ∆''Ψ'')<sup>§</sup>, is the electric potential difference<sup>§</sup>, which is not specific for H<sup>+</sup> and can, therefore, be measured by the distribution of any permeable cation equilibrating between the negative (matrix) and positive (external) compartment. Motion is relative and not absolute (Principle of Galilean Relativity); likewise there is no absolute potential, but isomorphic forces are stoichiometric potential differences<sup>§</sup>.</br></br>The total motive force (motive = electric + chemical) is distinguished from the partial components by subscript ‘m’, ∆<sub>m</sub>''F''<sub>H<sup>+</sup></sub>. Reading this symbol by starting with the proton, it can be seen as ''pmF'', or the subscript m (motive) can be remembered by the name of Mitchell,</br></br> ∆<sub>m</sub>''F''<sub>H<sup>+</sup></sub> = ∆<sub>d</sub>''F''<sub>H<sup>+</sup></sub> + ∆<sub>el</sub>''F''<sub>p<sup>+</sup></sub></br></br>With classical symbols, this equation contains the [[Faraday constant]], ''F'', multiplied implicitly by the charge number of the proton (''z''<sub>H<sup>+</sup></sub> = 1), and has the form [1]</br></br> ∆p = ∆''µ''<sub>H<sup>+</sup></sub>∙''F''<sup>-1</sup> + ∆''Ψ''</br></br>A partial electric force of 0.2 V in the electrical [[format]], ∆<sub>el</sub>''F''<sub><u>''e''</u>H<sup>+</sup>''a''</sub>, is 19 kJ∙mol<sup>-1</sup> H<sup>+</sup><sub>''a''</sub> in the molar format, ∆<sub>el</sub>''F''<sub><u>''n''</u>p<sup>+</sup>''a''</sub>. For 1 unit of ∆pH, the partial chemical force changes by -5.9 kJ∙mol<sup>-1</sup> in the molar format, ∆<sub>d</sub>''F''<sub><u>''n''</u>H<sup>+</sup>''a''</sub>, and by 0.06 V in the electrical format, ∆<sub>d</sub>''F''<sub><u>''e''</u>H<sup>+</sup>''a''</sub>.

The linearity of the generalized flow-pressure relationship explains the non-ohmic flow-force dependence in the proton leak rate as a function of membrane potential.</br></br>The total motive pressure (motive = electric + chemical) is distinguished from the partial components by subscript ‘m’, ∆<sub>m</sub>''Π''<sub>H<sup>+</sup></sub>,</br></br> ∆<sub>m</sub>''Π''<sub>H<sup>+</sup></sub> = ∆<sub>d</sub>''Π''<sub>H<sup>+</sup></sub> + ∆<sub>el</sub>''Π''<sub>p<sup>+</sup></sub>ub>''Π''<sub>H<sup>+</sup></sub> = ∆<sub>d</sub>''Π''<sub>H<sup>+</sup></sub> + ∆<sub>el</sub>''Π''<sub>p<sup>+</sup></sub>)

  • Reference state  + (The '''reference state''' Z (reference ratThe '''reference state''' Z (reference rate ''Z<sub>X</sub>'') is the respiratory state with high flux in relation to the [[background state]] Y with low background flux ''Y<sub>X</sub>''. The transition between the background state and the reference state is a step brought about by a [[metabolic control variable]] ''X''. If ''X'' stimulates flux (ADP, fuel substrate), it is present in the reference state but absent in the background state. If ''X'' is an inhibitor of flux, it is absent in the reference state but present in the background state. The reference state is specific for a single step to define the [[flux control efficiency]]. In contrast, in a sequence of multiple steps, the common reference state is frequently taken as the state with the highest flux in the entire sequence, as used in the definition of the [[flux control ratio]].[[flux control ratio]].)
  • Respiratory acceptor control ratio  + (The '''respiratory acceptor control ratio'The '''respiratory acceptor control ratio''' (''RCR'') is defined as [[State 3]]/[[State 4]] [1]. If State 3 is measured at saturating [ADP], ''RCR'' is the inverse of the OXPHOS control ratio, ''[[L/P]]'' (when State 3 is equivalent to the OXPHOS state, ''P''). ''RCR'' is directly but non-linearly related to the [[P-L control efficiency |''P-L'' control efficiency]], ''j''<sub>''P-L''</sub> = 1-''L/P'', with boundaries from 0.0 to 1.0. In contrast, ''RCR'' ranges from 1.0 to infinity, which needs to be considered when performing statistical analyses. In living cells, the term ''RCR'' has been used for the ratio [[State 3u]]/[[State 4o]], i.e. for the inverse ''[[L/E]]'' ratio [2,3]. Then for conceptual and statistical reasons, ''RCR'' should be replaced by the [[E-L coupling efficiency |''E-L'' coupling efficiency]], 1-''L/E'' [4].[[E-L coupling efficiency |''E-L'' coupling efficiency]], 1-''L/E'' [4].)

The SUIT RP consists of two [[harmonized SUIT protocols]] ([[SUIT-001]] - RP1 and [[SUIT-002]] - RP2). These are coordinated such that they can be statistically evaluated as replicate measurements of [[cross-linked respiratory states]], while additional information is obtained when the two protocols are conducted in parallel.

  • Permeability transition pore  + (The (mitochondrial, mt) permeability transThe (mitochondrial, mt) permeability transition pore (PTP) is an unspecific pore presumed to involve components of both the inner and outer mt membrane which upon opening induces a massive increase of the inner mt membrane permeability for solutes up to 1.5 kDa. It is crucially involved in cell death induction in response to, among other stimuli, radical stress and/or calcium overload and may cause necrosis or apoptosis. It plays an important role in neurodegenerative diseases, cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury and possibly various other diseases. Previously considered essential molecular constituents such as the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), the adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT) and cyclophilin D (CypD) have all been shown to be important regulators of mtPTP opening, but the molecular entities actually forming the pore are still unknown at present. The opening of the pore can be prevented using [[cyclosporin A]], a compound that binds cyclophilin D avoiding the formation of the pore. In respirometry, mtPTP opening may be observed as a sudden decrease of respiration of isolated mitochondria ([[Hansson 2010 J Biol Chem]]).[[Hansson 2010 J Biol Chem]]).)
