title: Resolution of complex III of the mitochondrial electron transfer chain into two component complexes.
abstract: Complex III can be resolved into an electron transfer complex and an ion transfer complex. The electron transfer complex contains exclusively the oxidation-reduction proteins of complex III, and the ion transfer complex the capability for augmenting cation-induced fluorescence of 8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid. This finding has important implications for the molecular mechanism of mitochondrial energy coupling.
