Description
Tm: Electron flow through Complex IV (cytochrome c oxidase) is measured in intact mitochondria after inhibiton of CIII by antimycin A, and addition of ascorbate (As) and the artificial substrate TMPD (Tm). Ascorbate has to be titrated first. It reduces TMPD, which further reduces cytochrome c, which is the substrate of CIV. Since CIV is a proton pump of the electron transfer system, the single step of CIV-linked respiration can be measured in different coupling states: Tm(L), Tm(P), and Tm(E). Measurement of CIV activity requires uncoupler titrations to eliminate any potential control by the phosphorylation system, and a cytochrome c test to avoid any limitation by cytochrome c release.
Abbreviation: CIV, Tm
