Oxidative phosphorylation can be broken down into three themes:
- Electron Transport Chain
- Chemiosmoosis
- ATP synthase
___________ and __________ which are electron carriers, donate electrons to the electron transport chain, which powers ___________ via oxidattive phosphorylation
NADH and FADH2 which are electron carriers, donate electrons to the electron transport chain, which powers ATPsynthase via oxidattive phosphorylation
NAD+
- ________ adenine dinucleotide
- a ________ of oxidation-reduction
- _______ a metabolite by accepting electrons, the metabolite is _______ and the NAD+ is _______
- _______ a metabolite by giving up electrons. The NADH is _______and the metabolite is _________
- Each NAD+ molecules is used over and over again
NAD+
- nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
- a co-enzyme of oxidation-reduction
- oxidises a metabolite by accepting electrons, the metabolite is oxidised and the NAD+ is reduced
- Reduce a metabolite by giving up electrons. The NADH is oxidised and the metabolite is reduced
- Each NAD+ molecules is used over and over again
Where does the electron transport chain take place?
In the folds of the inner membrane of the mitochondrion- cristae
Most of the chains components are _________ which exist in multiprotein complexes I - IV
Most of the chains components are proteins which exist in multiprotein complexes I - IV
Tighly bound to the proteins of the electron transport chain are ___________ Groups (redox Centres) that participate in moving electrons.
Tighly bound to the proteins of the electron transport chain are prosthetic Groups (redox Centres) that participate in moving electrons.
The________ carriers alternate between reduced and oxidised states as they accept and donate electrons
The electron carriers alternate between reduced and oxidised states as they accept and donate electrons
electrons drop in _________ energy as they go down the chain and are finally passed to ______ forming _______
electrons drop in free energy as they go down the chain and are finally passed to O2 forming H2O
Electron transport Chain
Complex I: ____________
Function: catalyses an NADH-CoQ reductase reaction
Conjsists of 2 electron carrying structures:
- ____________ (FMN)
- _____________ (Fe.S)
Electron transport Chain
Complex I: NADH Dehydrogenase
Function: catalyses an NADH-CoQ reductase reaction
Conjsists of 2 electron carrying structures:
- Flavin mononucleotide (FMN)
- Iron Sulphur Centres (Fe.S)
What is Flavin mononucleotides?
tightly bound group of NADH dehydrogenase electron carriers.
What are prosthetic groups?
non-peptide, non-protein compounds that attach to proteins to allow them to carry out a function
Complex II: succinate dehydrogenase
- succiant-CoQ reductase (4 subunits)
- succinate dehydrogenase is also a component of complex II
Ubiquinone-Q: is involved with various complexes and is not a static molecule
- co-enzyme Q10 is a fat soluble vitamin like hydrophobic molecule
- only member of the ETC to not be a protein
- Mobile within the membrane via diffussion, rather then residing in a particular complex
Compex III: ________ C oxireductase
CoQH2-___________ C reductase (11 subunits)
Compex III: cytochrone C oxireductase
CoQH2-cytochrome C reductase (11 subunits)
Type IV complex: ________ oxidase
________- heme/haem proteins that undergo redox reactions
_________ oxidase (13 subunits) large transmembrane protein
Type IV complex: cytochrome oxidase
Cytochromes- heme/haem proteins that undergo redox reactions
cytochrom oxidase (13 subunits) large transmembrane protein
How many complexes are there in the electron transport chain?
4
