N/NS pathway control ratio

Description

The CI/CI&II substrate control ratio is obtained when succinate is added to CI-linked respiration in a defined coupling state. CI and CII are abbreviations for Complex I and Complex II, but indicate here CI-linked respiration (with pyruvate, glutamate, malate, or other ETS competent CI-linked substrate combinations) and CII-linked (with succinate) respiration. CI&II indicates respiration with a CI- and CII-linked substrate cocktail. The symbol '&' in CI&II helps to distinguish CI&II as the measured flux in the presence of both CI- and CII-linked substrates from CI+CII as the operation of a mathematical addition when calculating the sum of CI- plus CII-linked respiration measured separately.

Abbreviation: CI/CI&II
