Which complexes are involved in respirasome formation? 

I am a little confuse about this topic:  So the ETC enzymes, which I thought to be membrane bound and seperate, actually form a stable complex? Like do they hover towards each other through some sort of fluid mosaic model movement?  Can you please clarify!  Thanks.

Expert Solution
Introduction: -

Respirasome is the most important part of oxidative phosphorylation, which is involved in the transfer of electron from one electron to other and lastly to oxygen, this whole process produces a concentration gradient across the mitochondrial inner membrane. and that's how energy formation take place.

This complex structure found in different types of species as well as tissues such as : heart, human skin, brain, kidney, etc.
