The protons are used to power the rotation of ATP synthase. Cbc1 binds ubiquinol which carries hydrogen atoms. Cbc1 separates the protons and the electrons. The protons are released in the inner side of the membrane for use by ATP synthase and the electrons are transferred to cytochrome c or to the outer side of the membrane. Plants use cytochrome b6f in the same manner binding plastoquinol as a hydrogen carrier. Stigmatellin inhibits the Cbc1 electron transfer by binding to its quinone oxidation site. Antimycin inhibits Cbc1 by binding to its quinone reduction site.[1] More details in Complex_III_of_Electron_Transport_Chain. Structural highlights Cbc1 is a composed of 11 proteins and cofactors which include heme-carrying proteins like and and iron-sulfur cluster proteins like . The iron containing moieties are , (where vinyl side chain of heme are replaced by thioether) and . [2]
