摘要
A direct hydrogen bond between ubiquinone/quinol bound at the Q(O) site and a cluster-ligand histidine of the iron-sulfur protein (ISP) is described as a major determining factor explaining much experimental data on position of the ISP ectodomain, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) lineshape and midpoint potential of the iron-sulfur cluster, and the mechanism of the bifurcated electron transfer from ubiquinol to the high and low potential chains of the be, complex.
