Electron transfer pathway

Description

The mitochondrial electron transfer system (ETS; synonymous with 'electron transport system') transfers electrons from externally supplied reduced substrates to oxygen. It consists of the membrane-bound ETS (mETS) with enzyme complexes located in the inner mt-membrane, mt-matrix dehydrogenases generating NADH, and the transport systems involved in metabolite exchange across the mt-membranes (see ETS capacity).

Why ETS, why not State 3u?
