ETC Flashcards
Outer Mitochondrial Membrane Permeability
ions and small molecules
use channels and porins
Inner Mitochondrial Membrane Permeability
most small ions and small and large molecules
Complex 1
NADH Dehydrogenase
iron sulfur center
accepts e- from NADH made during glycolysis, pyruvate decarboxylation, Krebs
makes FMNH2
Complex 2
Succinate dehydrogenase
Embedded in inner membrane
iron sulfur center
makes FADH2
Coenzyme Q
nonprotein
gets e- from C 1 and 2
Complex 3
Cyt b and c1
Complex 4
Cyt a + a3 or c oxidase
contains copper
gives e- to O2 acceptor
Complex 5
ATP Synthase
Fo= spans inner memmbrane
F1= extramembranous
ADP + Pi = ATP
Inhibitors of Complex 1
Amytal (barbituate)
Rotenone (insecticide)
Inhibitors of Complex 3
Antimycin A (piscicide)
Inhibitors of Complex 4
Cyanide
CO
Sodium azide (NaN3)
Inhibitors of Complex 5
Oligomycin
Uncoupling
Allows H+ to flow back through membrane without generating ATP
Natural Uncoupling
Uncoupling proteins in inner membrane
Synthetic uncouplers
Nonproteins that increase permeability of inner membrane to H+
