The midpoint potentials of the various Fe-S centers in Site I [from pigeon and ox heart mitochondria] were determined at different pH values by the technique of redox potentiometry. An interesting feature is the pH-dependence of Center N-2, the highest potential component of the NADH dehydrogenase segment of the respiratory chain. The apparent midpoint potentials of Center N-2 (NADH dehydrogenase) and S-1 (succinate dehydrogenase) and their pH-dependence was also determined by using the succinate/fumarate couple. Again Center N-2 is pH-dependent in midpoint potential, and Center S-1 is not. The results obtained by titrating with the succinate/fumarate couple are in quantitative agreement with those obtained for these centers by redox potentiometry. Oxidation-reduction titrations of Fe-S centers with the couple NADH/NAD+ and an analog acetylpyridine-adenine nucleotide (reduced/oxidized) in the presence of rotenone gave results substantially different from those obtained by redox potentiometry; these differences may be due to the mechanism of action of NADH dehydrogenase and its specific interaction with NADH. The addition of ATP to an NAD+/NADH-poised system induces an uncoupler-sensitive oxidation of Center N-4.
