Type:
The electron transport chain (ETC) — the mitochondrial system that produces ATP through oxidative phosphorylation — is deeply linked to cancer biology, both in tumor promotion and suppression.
-The ETC resides in the inner mitochondrial membrane and includes Complexes I–IV and ATP synthase (Complex V).
-It transfers electrons from NADH/FADH₂ to oxygen, generating ATP and reactive oxygen species (ROS) as byproducts.
-The function of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) is to transfer electrons from carbon to oxygen and release energy in the form of ATP.

The #1 theory of how pulsed Magnetic Fields affect the ETC is by the RPM

The ETC consists of:
-Complex I – NADH dehydrogenase
-Complex II – Succinate dehydrogenase
-➡ Complex III – Cytochrome bc₁ complex
-Complex IV – Cytochrome c oxidase
-ATP synthase (often called Complex V)

Complex III sits between Coenzyme Q (ubiquinol) and cytochrome c.

Complex III is a major regulated source of mitochondrial ROS, especially:
-Superoxide generation at the Qo site
-ROS used for redox signaling (HIF stabilization, signaling adaptation)
-Excess ROS contributes to DNA damage and cell death
