  • Title: Measurement of the oxidation-reduction potentials for one-electron and two-electron reduction of electron-transfer flavoprotein from pig liver.
    Author: Husain M, Stankovich MT, Fox BG.
    Journal: Biochem J; 1984 May 01; 219(3):1043-7. PubMed ID: 6743239.
    Abstract:
    Potentiometric titrations of pig liver electron-transfer flavoprotein (ETF) were performed at pH 7.5 and 4 degrees C, both in the reductive and oxidative directions. Reduction of ETF to the hydroquinone form required a total of two reducing equivalents/mol of ETF with the formation of sub-stoichiometric amounts of anionic semiquinone as an intermediate. The oxidation-reduction potentials for the two one-electron couples, oxidized ETF/ETF semiquinone and ETF semiquinone/fully reduced ETF, are +4 mV and -50 mV respectively. The overall midpoint potential for the two-electron couple (oxidized ETF/fully reduced ETF) is -23 mV.
