Abstract
Succinate:ubiquinone reductase, or electron transfer Complex II (for a comprehensive treatment see Fleischer and Packer 1978), is an enzyme of the inner mitochondrial membrane and cytalyses the following reaction:
Succinate + ubiquinone ∙ fumarate + dihydroubiquinone
The enzyme will serve as an example of a membrane enzyme which utilizes a hydrophobic substrate.
