<p>Our data are consistent with the dissection of complex I into four functional modules <a href="http://www.plosbiology.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pbio.1001128#pbio.1001128-Hunte1" target="_blank">[6]</a> and allow the assignment of subunits and proton pumps to the proximal (P<sub>P</sub>, green) and distal (P<sub>D</sub>, cyan) domains of the membrane arm. The FMN containing N-module (light yellow), the Q-module harbouring the ubiquinone binding site (dark yellow), the chain of seven iron-sulfur clusters (orange spheres), and the extended transmission element (magenta) are indicated.</p>
