- In particular, the emerging consensus that the complexes I-III-IV occur mostly as supercomplexes further complicates attributing shifts in the CoQ redox state to a specific location in the mitochondrial ETC as electron transfer in these supercomplexes appears to occur via tunnelling or microdiffusion of CoQ/CoQH 2 rather than via a mobile CoQ pool in mitochondrial membranes [72 ].
