The isolation and characterization of Factor B, a mitochondrial protein involved in oxidative phosphorylation, has been described previously. The occurrence of another form of the factor, designated Factor B′, which can be separated from Factor B by CM-cellulose chromatography, has been established. Like Factor B, it is inhibited by p-chloromercuriphenylsulfonate and an antiserum to Factor B. The preparation contains, in addition, another energy transfer factor, Factor C, which stimulates ATP-driven Nad reduction by succinate in a highly depleted particle beyond the stimulation produced by Factor B.
