Description
Respiratory electron transfer system capacity, E, of mitochondria in the experimentally induced non-coupled (fully uncoupled) state, in mitochondrial preparations with defined substrates, or in intact cells, by titration of an established uncoupler to optimum concentration at maximum flux. Non-coupled respiration yields an estimate of ETS capacity. In this state E, the mt-membrane potential is collapsed, which provides a reference state for flux control ratios and measurement of mt-membrane potential.
