Electron leak
Description
The flux of electrons that exit the electron transfer system without completing the reduction of oxygen to water at cytochrome c, causing the production of ROS. The rate of electron leak depends on the topology of the complex, the redox state of the moiety responsible of electron leakiness and usually on the Δp. In some cases, the Δp dependance relies more on the ΔpH component than in the ΔΨ.
