Description
Respiratory states of mitochondrial preparations and intact cells are defined in the current literature in many ways and with a diversity of terms. Mitochondrial respiratory states must be defined in terms of both, the coupling control state and the substrate control state.

Coupling control states
Coupling states and CCR of mitochondrial preparations:
Coupling states of intact cells:
Substrate control states
Substrate control states, SCR, are defined by substrate type (at saturating concentration) as pathway control states:
- Intact cells: endogenous, exogenous substrate control
- Mitochondrial preparations: specific substrate-inhibitor combinations for selectively stimulating electron entry though Complex I, CII, or other branches converging at the Q-junction, particularly with fatty acids and alpha-glycerophosphate (CI respiration, CII respiration, etc.), or substrate combinations applied for reconstitution of TCA cycle function (CI+II respiration, etc.).
Control by substrate concentration: Kinetic control states:
- Kinetic substrate or adenylate control: Kinetic studies with variation of a specific substrate (reduced substrate supplying electrons to the ETS; ADP, Pi; O2; cytochrome c) are analyzed by kinetic functions (e.g. hyperbolic), yielding apparent kinetic constants, such as Jmax, Km', c50, or p50.
- Kinetic inhibitor control: Kinetic studies with variation of a specific inhibitor yield apparent kinetic constants, such as the KI'.
