Question | Answer |
---|---|
oxidative phosphorylation | coupled energy and electron transfer |
electron transfer | FADH2 and NADH donate electrons to oxygen to produce water and provide energy for proton pump |
energy transfer | FADH2 and NADH facilitate the phosphorylation of ADP to ATP |
Net reaction | 10 NADH and FADH2 are oxidized to provide energy for proton pumping, 6O2 is reduced to produce 12 H20, 34 ATP produced |
electron transport chain | flow of electrons from NADH and FADH2 to oxygen in aerobic respiration, oxygen generates energy for proton gradient |
ATP production | proton gradient is used to power ATP synthase |
ETC complexes | clustered in a respirasome, reversibly reduced and oxidized in inner mitochondrial membrane |
which complexes pass through the membrane and pump protons? | CI, CIII, and CIV |
which complex does not pass through the membrane and does not pump protons? | CII |
Complex I: NADH-Q oxidoreductase complex | transfers electrons from NADH to ubiquinone, oxidation of the complex provides energy to pump 4 H+ for every 2 e- |
Complex II: succinate- Q reductase complex | transfers electrons from FADH2 to ubiquinone, electrons come from conversion to succinate to fumarate in the CAC cycle |
Complex III: Q-cytochrome c oxidoreductase complex | transfers electrons for CoQ to cytochrome c, oxidation of the complex provides energy to pump 4 H+ for every 2 e- |
Complex IV: cytochrome c oxidase complex | transfers electrons from cytochrome c to O2, oxidation of the complex provides energy to pump 2 H+ for every 2 e- |
ubiquinone | shuttles electrons and energy from CI and CII to CIII |
O2 | final electron acceptor in complex IV |
Standard reduction potential (E0') | affinity for electrons, more potential to be reduced |
delta E0' | E0' products - E0' reactants |
+ change in E0' | more reduction potential in products, reaction moves to the right |
- change in E0' | more reduction potential in reactants, reaction moves to the left |
E0' and G0' | inversely related |
spontaneous | + E0' and - G0' |
non-spontaneous | - E0' and + G0' |
equilibrium | E0' and G0' = 0 |
electrons are more likely to be transferred to a biomolecule with a larger E0' because | it has greater electron affinity |
NADH: lowest to greatest E0' | CI<CIII<CIV |
FADH2: lowest to greatest E0' | CII<CIII<CIV |
barbituates | block CI so electrons are not transferred and proton pumping from CI does not occur, CII-CIV can still occur |
cyanide | blocks IV, backs up whole system |
proton motive force | pH gradient and electric potential |
pH gradient | proton concentration gradient between the matrix (low) and inner membrane space (high) |
electric potential | separation of charge across the membrane |
ATP synthase | converts energy from proton motive force into ATP |
ATP synthase: F1 component | three sites of catalysis, in the matrix, hydrophilic, held to membrane by F0 |
F1 structure | stalk made of gamma and epsilon subunits, 3 alpha and beta subunits alternate, delta subunit binds to F0 |
ATP synthase: F0 component | integral inner mitochondrial membrane protein, hydrophobic around outside, contains H+ channel |
F0 structure | a subunit, 2 b subunits connect A to delta of F1, c ring made of 8-15 subunits |
F1 and F0 connection | gamma stalk and exterior column through a, 2b, and delta |
what portions of ATP synthase remain in the membrane after salt wash? | salt water disrupts electrostatic interactions so it would disrupt the F1 component |
ATP synthase: static portion | alpha and beta subunits |
ATP synthase: rotating portion | c ring and gamma shaft |
ATP synthase mechanism: 1) H+ rotates c ring of F0 part 1 | -when H+ concentration is high, H+ enters tunnel on inter-membrane space side of subunit a -H+ binds to glu or asp of c ring, making it hydrophobic - c subunit moves to lipid tails - H+ bound to c subunits pushed through to mitochondrial matrix |
ATP synthase mechanism: 1) H+ rotates c ring of F0 part 2 | -when H+ are low in matrix, H+ dissociate and enter matrix, c ring is hydrophilic -ring movement turns c subunit to subunit a facing the inner-membrane space |
ATP synthase mechanism: 2) c ring rotation makes gamma shaft rotate | curved gamma shaft bumps alpha and beta subunits causing catalytic change |
ATP synthase mechanism: 3) binding change mechanism | beta subunit conformation change from gamma shaft rotation, changes affinity for ATP, ADP and Pi |
open conformation (1) | ATP is released, ADP and Pi bind beta subunit |
loose conformation (2) | nucleotides trapped in beta subunit |
tight conformation (3) | ATP synthesized from ADP and Pi |
ATP transport | ATP-ADP translocase and Phosphate translocase |
ATP-ADP translocase | antiporter, 1 ATP out for every ADP in |
Phosphate translocase | symporter, phosphate enters matrix with protons traveling down their chemical gradient |
how many ATP come from ox phos? | 26 ATP |
