Succinate Dehydrogenase (PDB = 2wdv with empty ubiquinone binding site; PDB = 1nek with ubiquinone bound), also called succinate-coenzyme Q reductase (SQR) or Complex II, is a tetrameric enzyme found in the cell membrane of some bacteria and the inner mitochondrial membrane of mammalian cells. It is classified as an α+β protein, as it contains segregated regions of α helices and antiparallel β sheets. It is involved in two aspects of digestion; it catalyzes the oxidation of succinate to fumarate in the citric acid cycle by simultaneously reducing ubiquinone to ubiquinol in the electron transport chain [1].
