A new class EC 7, Translocases, has been added to the EC list. It will be part of ENZYME from release 2018_10. Read more about EC 7 here.

ENZYME entry: EC 1.10.2.2

Accepted Name
Quinol--cytochrome-c reductase.
Alternative Name(s)
Complex III (mitochondrial electron transport).
Cytochrome bc1 complex.
Ubiquinol--cytochrome-c reductase.
Ubiquinone--cytochrome-c oxidoreductase.
Reaction catalysed
Quinol + 2 ferricytochrome c <=> quinone + 2 ferrocytochrome c + 2 H(+)
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme, often referred to as the cytochrome bc1 complex or complex III, is the third complex in the electron transport chain.
  • It is present in the mitochondria of all aerobic eukaryotes and in the inner membranes of most bacteria.
  • The mammalian enzyme contains cytochromes b-562, b-566 and C(1), and a 2-iron ferredoxin.
  • Depending on the organism and physiological conditions, the enzyme extrudes either two or four protons from the cytoplasmic to the non- cytoplasmic compartment (cf. EC 1.6.99.3).
