Description
Electron flow through the mitochondrial electron transfer system (ETS) is the scalar component of chemical reactions in oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Electron flow is most conveniently measured as oxygen consumption (oxygraphic measurement of oxygen flow), with four electrons being taken up when oxygen(02) is reduced to water.
