Step	State	Pathway	Q-junction	Comment - Events (E) and Marks (M)
1PM	PML	N	CI	PML or PM_L: Pyruvate & Malate, N-LEAK respiration, NL NADH-linked substrates (type N-pathway to Q). Template:SUIT L n
2D	PMP	N	CI	NADH-linked substrates (type N-pathway to Q). OXPHOS capacity P (with saturating [ADP]), active OXPHOS state.
2c	PMcP	N	CI	NADH-linked substrates (type N-pathway to Q). OXPHOS capacity P (with saturating [ADP]), active OXPHOS state. Addition of cytochrome c yields a test for integrity of the mtOM (cytochrome c control efficiency). Stimulation by added cytochrome c would indicate an injury of the mtOM and limitation of respiration in the preceding state without added c due to loss of cytochrome c. Typically, cytochrome c is added immediately after the earliest ADP-activation step (OXPHOS capacity P with saturating [ADP]).
3U	PME	N	CI	NADH-linked substrates (type N-pathway to Q). Uncoupler titration (avoiding inhibition by high uncoupler concentrations) to obtain electron transfer (ET) capacity E (noncoupled ET-state). Test for limitation of OXPHOS capacity P by the phosphorylation system (ANT, ATP synthase, phosphate transporter) relative to ET capacity E in mt-preparations: E-P control efficiency and E-L coupling efficiency. In living cells: E-R control efficiency and E-L coupling efficiency.
4G	PGM(E)	N	CI	NADH-linked substrates (type N-pathway to Q). Noncoupled electron transfer state, ET state, with ET capacity E.
5S	PGMSE	NS	CI&II	NADH-linked substrates (type N-pathway to Q). & Succinate, S ( type S-pathway to Q). Respiratory stimulation by simultaneous action of type N substrates & succinate, with convergent electron flow in the NS-pathway for reconstitution of TCA cycle function. Noncoupled electron transfer state, ET state, with ET capacity E.
6Oct	OctPGMSE	FNS	FAO&CI&II	Respiratory stimulation by simultaneous action of the F-pathway, N-pathway, and S-pathway, with convergent electron flow in the FNS-pathway for reconstitution of TCA cycle function and additive or inhibitory effect of F. Noncoupled electron transfer state, ET state, with ET capacity E.
7Rot	SE	S	CII	Succinate pathway control state (S-pathway) after inhibiting CI with rotenone, which also inhibits the F-pathway. Noncoupled electron transfer state, ET state, with ET capacity E.
8Gp	SGp(E)	SGp	CII&GpDH	Respiratory stimulation by action of succinate and glycerophosphate, Gp, with convergent electron flow in the SGp-pathway (CII&GpDH-linked pathway to the Q-junction). Noncoupled electron transfer state, ET state, with ET capacity E.
9Ama	ROX			Rox is the residual oxygen consumption in the ROX state, due to oxidative side reactions, estimated after addition of antimycin A (inhibitor of CIII). Rox is subtracted from oxygen flux as a baseline for all respiratory states, to obtain mitochondrial respiration (mt).
