35
Q

Mutations of isoCitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)–

A

several types of cancers (e.g, including leukemia, gliomas, and sarcomas)

36
Q

what happens during the ETC

A

happens in Inner mitochondrial membrane contain series of protein complexes that transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors via reduction and oxidation, and couples this electron transfer with the transfer of protons (H+) across the mitochondrial membrane

b) Mediates reactions (electron transfer) between NADH and FADH2 (generated in the TCA cycle) and O2 to power ATP synthase during oxidative phosphorylation– NADH and FADH2 (intermediate products of TCA cycle pathway) are essential most for the process of oxidative phosphorylation

37
Q

basic principle of ETC

A

Each electron donor pass electrons to an electron acceptor of a higher redox potential, until final proton acceptor O2 (terminal electron acceptor in the ETC)

Each reaction releases energy because a higher-energy donor and acceptor convert to lower-energy products
↓
This entire process is termed as ‘Oxidative phosphorylation’

38

accepts 2 protons from NADH and then goves it to coenzyme Q which then become reduced (coenzyme QH2) Ubiquinol

40
Q

where does premature electron leakage occur?

43
Q

where doe the elctrons from FADH2 go?

fatty acids and glycerol-3-phosphate

Unlike complex I, no protons are transported to the intermembrane space in the complex II pathway

less energy to the overall ETC process

Q

Chemiosmostic coupling hypothesis-

A

ETC and Oxidative phosphorylation are coupled by an electrochemical proton gradient across inner mitochondrial membrane

ETC pathway generates potential energy in form of an electrical potential across mitochondrial membrane. This store of energy is tapped when protons flow back across the membrane and down potential energy gradient, through ATP synthase in a process termed as ‘Chemiosmosis’. The ATP synthase uses this energy to generate ATP from ADP and Pi

ATP synthase system (Complex V),

51
Q

Chemiosmotic hypothesis involves:

i. a membrane impermeable to protons
ii. electron transport by cellular respiratory chain pumps protons out of the mitochondria
