Description
The ET-pathway coupling efficiency (E-L coupling control factor) is a normalized flux ratio, j≈E = ≈E/E = (E-L)/E = 1-L/E. j≈E is 0.0 at zero coupling (L=E) and 1.0 at the limit of a fully coupled system (L=0). The background state is the LEAK state which is stimulated to ET-pathway reference state by uncoupler titration. LEAK states LN or LT may be stimulated first by saturating ADP (State P) with subsequent uncoupler titration to State E. The ET-pathway coupling efficiency is based on measurement of a coupling control ratio (LEAK control ratio, L/E), whereas the thermodynamic or ergodynamic efficiency of coupling between ATP production (DT phosphorylation) and oxygen consumption is based on measurement of the output/input flux ratio (~P/O2 ratio) and output/input force ratio (Gibbs force of phosphorylation/Gibbs force of oxidation). Biochemical coupling efficiency is either expressed as the ET-pathway coupling efficiency, j≈E, or OXPHOS coupling efficiency, j≈P, obtained in a coupling control protocol (phosphorylation control protocol). » MiPNet article

HRR: Theory
- Quantification of coupling of mitochondrial respiration is a fundamental component of OXPHOS analysis.[1],[2] Biochemical coupling efficiency is distinguished from ergodynamic efficiency.[3],[4],[5]
