Electron Transport Flashcards
Piericidin A
NADH dehydrogenase inhibitor in complex 1
Rotenone
Inhibits NADH dehydrogenase in complex 1
Amytal
Barbiturate
Inhibits NADH dehydrogenase in complex 1
Oligomycin
ATP synthase inhibitor, complex 5
Atractyloside
Blocks outward facing portion of the adenine nucleotide transporter
Inhibits ATP/ADP transport
Thermogenin
Dissipates H+ gradient in ETC. Generates heat.
Bongkrekic acid
Binds inward facing portion of adenine nucleotide transporter.
Inhibits ATP/ADP transport
Ionophores
Makes inner membrane permeable to compounds that usually cannot cross.
Gramicidin
Channel forming ionophore
Valinomycin
Mobile carrier ionophore typically carries K+
NADH dehydrogenase
Complex 1
NADH + FMN to NAD+ and FMNH2
Succinate dehydrogenase
Complex 2
Succinate and FAD to Fumarate and FADH2
Cytochrome reductase
e- passed between Fe molecules in complex III
Delivered to complex III by CoQ and removed (reduced) by Cytochrome C
Cytochrome Oxidase
Oxidation of cytochrome C and reduction of O2 in complex IV
Glycerol phosphate shuttle
NADH into mitochondria
