Q-junction
Description
The Q-junction is a junction for convergent electron flow in the electron transfer system (ETS) from Complex I (CI), Complex II (CII), electron-transferring flavoprotein (CETF), glycerophosphate dehydrogenase complex (CGpDH), choline dehydrogenase and other enzyme complexes into the Q-cycle (ubiquinol/ubiquinone), and further to Complex III (CIII).

Convergent CI+II linked electron flow at the Q-junction, exerting an additive effect on flux, versus electron gaiting for separation of single input pathways (upper panel: Gnaiger 2009; lower panel: Hatefi et al 1962). From Fig. 1.5 in Gnaiger 2012 MitoPathways.
