Oxidative Phosphorylation Flashcards
What does the next complex in the chain have that the previous one doesn’t
Higher affinity for electrons
Where does oxidative phosphorylation occur
Inner mitochondrial membrane
What does the coupling of ATP synthesis and the transport of H+s produce
Electrochemical gradient across the highly impermeable inner membrane
Nadh to nad+ in complex 1
What is it’s name
Nadh-q oxidoreductase complex 1
Then from complex one to what
Ubiquinone
What enzyme puts the electrons from fadh to nad
Succinate q reductase
Then from complex 2 to complex 3
Q-cytochrome c oxidoreductase complex 3
The complex 3 to
Cytochrome c
The cytochrome c to
Cytochrome c oxidase complex 4
Uniquinone is what
Small hydrophobic molecule not a protein
A coenzyme
What does succinate q reductase contain
Succinate dehydrogenase
Mechanism of h+ translocation
H+ is translocated by conformational changes in the complexes
What is produced when the protons move across the membrane
Electrochemical gradient
Or
Proton motive force
