Complex II Oxidizes Succinate<br />

<strong>and</strong> Reduces Coenzyme Q<br />

Succinate-CoQ Reductase<br />

• aka succinate dehydrogenase (from TCA cycle!)<br />

• aka flavoprotein 2 (FP 2 ) - FAD covalently bound<br />

• four subunits, including 2 Fe-S proteins<br />

• Three types of Fe-S cluster:<br />

4Fe-4S, 3Fe-4S, 2Fe-2S<br />

• Path: succinate → FADH 2 → 2Fe 2+ → UQH 2<br />

• Net reaction:<br />

succinate + UQ → fumarate + UQH 2
