In this doctoral thesis, we investigate different aspects of complex I related to proton pumping, Q binding, and large-scale dynamics. Our results show how the signal for the proton pumping can be transferred across long distances, and how the Q motion in its binding pocket can be linked to complex I function. Additionally, we show how accessory subunits modulate dynamics of complex I, and that important regulatory transitions are linked to global motions of the enzyme. Together, these results provide an enhanced molecular understanding of the mechanism of complex I.
