P/E control ratio
Description
The phosphorylation system control ratio or OXPHOS/ETS (P/E) ratio is an expression of the limitation of OXPHOS capacity by the phosphorylation system. The P/E ratio increases with increasing capacity of the phosphorylation system up to a maximum of 1.0 when it matches or is in excess of ETS capacity. P/E also increases with uncoupling. P/E increases from the lower boundary set by L/E (zero capacity of the phosphorylation system), to the upper limit of 1.0, when there is no limitation of P by the phosphorylation system or the proton backpressure (capacity of the phosphorylation system fully matches the ETS capacity; or if the system is fully uncoupled). It is important to separate the kinetic effect of ADP limitation from limitation by enzymatic capacity at saturating ADP concentration.
