Step State Pathway Q-junction Comment - Events (E) and Marks (M)
ce1 ROUTINE ce1
  • ROUTINE respiration in the physiological coupling state R. Externally added permeable substrates could contribute to this respiratory state.
ce2SHAM ROUTINE OR ROX ce1;ce2SHAM
  • Salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM) is an inhibitor of the alternative oxidase (AOX). When AOX is blocked by SHAM, electrons are forced through the cytochrome c oxidase (CIV) pathway.
  • After inhibition with SHAM, the cytochrome c oxidase (CIV) branched respiration, B(SHAM), is normally achieved, defined as the respiration in the physiological coupling state where the mitochondrial respiration is through the cytochrome c oxidase (CIV) pathway (CIV). Occassionally, the cytochrome c oxidase pathway may not be active and then we have the ROX state, where Rox is the residual oxygen consumption due to oxidative side reactions estimated either after inhibition of CIII or CIV or in the absence of endogenous fuel-substrates. Rox is subtracted from oxygen flux as a baseline for all respiratory states, to obtain mitochondrial respiration.
