Anaerobic potentiometric titrations of b cytochromes have been carried out in beef heart submitochondrial particles in the presence of several specific inhibitors of electron transfer through the b-c1-site of the respiratory chain. Whereas antimycin shows no significant effect on the titration curve of cytochrome b-562, NoHOQnO is found to shift the Em of b-562 by 20-30 mV to the positive. Funiculosin raises the Em of b-562 by greater than 100 mV and also appears to bring about a minor shift of b-566 midpoint potential. In the presence of myxothiazol, both b cytochromes titrate with Em values 15-30 mV more positive than in the control.
