Complex I (NADH-ubiquinone reductase) and Complex III (ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase) supplemented with NADH generated O2- at maximum rates of 9.8 and 6.5 nmol/min per mg of protein, respectively, while, in the presence of superoxide dismutase, the same systems generated H2O2 at maximum rates of 5.1 and 4.2 nmol/min per mg of protein, respectively. H2O2 was essentially produced by disproportionation of O2-, which constitutes the precursor of H2O2. The effectiveness of the generation of oxygen intermediates by Complex I in the absence of other specific electron acceptors was 0.95 mol of O2- and 0.63 mol of H2O2/mol of NADH. A reduced form of ubiquinone appeared to be responsible for the reduction of O2 to O2-, since ubiquinone constituted the sole common major component of Complexes I and III, H2O2 generation by Complex I was inhibited by rotenone, and supplementation of Complex I with exogenous ubiquinones increased the rate of H2O2 generation. The efficiency of added quinones as peroxide generators decreased in the order Q1 > Q0 > Q2 > Q6 = Q10, in agreement with the quinone capacity of acting as electron acceptor for Complex I. In the supplemented systems, the exogenous quinone was reduced by Complex I and oxidized nonenzymatically by O2. Additional evidence for the role of ubiquinone as peroxide generator is provided by the generation of O2- and H2O2 during autoxidation of quinols. In oxygenated buffers, ubiquinol (Q0H2), benzoquinol, duroquinol and menadiol generated O2- with k3 values of 0.1-1.4 M-1 .cntdot. s-1 and H2O2 with k4 values of 0.009-4.3 M-1 .cntdot. s-1.
