Step	State	Pathway	Q-junction	Comment - Events (E) and Marks (M)
1S	SL	S	CII	SL or S_L: Succinate, S-LEAK respiration, SL Succinate, S ( type S-pathway to Q). Template:SUIT L n
2D	SP	S	CII	1S;2D Succinate, S ( type S-pathway to Q). OXPHOS capacity P (with saturating [ADP]), active OXPHOS state.
3P	NSP	NS	CI&II	1S;2D;3P NADH-linked substrates (type N-pathway to Q). & Succinate, S ( type S-pathway to Q). Respiratory stimulation by simultaneous action of type N substrates & succinate, with convergent electron flow in the NS-pathway for reconstitution of TCA cycle function. OXPHOS capacity P (with saturating [ADP]), active OXPHOS state.
4Rot	SP	S	CII	1S;2D;3P;4Rot Succinate, S ( type S-pathway to Q). OXPHOS capacity P (with saturating [ADP]), active OXPHOS state. Succinate pathway control state (S-pathway) after inhibiting CI with rotenone, which also inhibits the F-pathway.
6Ama	ROX			Rox is the residual oxygen consumption in the ROX state, due to oxidative side reactions, estimated after addition of antimycin A (inhibitor of CIII). Rox is subtracted from oxygen flux as a baseline for all respiratory states, to obtain mitochondrial respiration (mt).

Strengths and limitations

+ Contribution of N patway to the NS can be chekcked after the addition of Rot.

+

+ Reasonable duration of the experiment.

- Rox may be lower in substrate states earlier in the SUIT protocol. Therefore, this Rox measurement is frequently taken as a methodological control rather than as the final basis of Rox correction of mitochondrial respiration (mt).

- Careful washing is required after the experiment to avoid carry-over of inhibitors.

- CIV activity cannot be measured together with the fluorescence.
