Overall Delta G of Reaction of ETC
Exothermic
What does ETC make
Makes Proton gradient –> Resulting proton gradient and transmemebrane electrical potential creates proton motive force
How is ATP synthesized (overall)
ATP is synthesized when electrons flow back to Mitocondrial matrix through enzyme complex
***ATP is synthesized by oxidation of a fuel + phosphorylation of ADP that are coupled by a proton gradient across the mitocondrial membrane

Inner memebrane of Mitocondria
Folded into a series of interanl ridges called “cristea”
Compartments of Mitocondria

Mitocondrial Matrix
Bound by inner memebarne – Matrix is the site of most of the reactions of the TCA cycle and Fatty acid oxidation
Where does ETC take plase
ETC takes place in the inner memebrane
Surface area of inner memebrane
Has increased SA because of cristae –> Increases SA of Inner memebrane creates more sites for Oxidative Phosphorylation
Permability of outter memebrane
The outter memebreane is permeable to most small molecules + ions – BECAUSE it has proins –> has pore forming proeteins

ETC (Overall)
ETC = a series of coupled redox reactions that transfer electrons from NADH to FADH2
What does NADH and FADH2 reduce
NADH and FADH2 are used to reduce O2 to H2O
***Highly exergonic reaction – done by electron transfer reaction that takes place in ETC
How do we measure electron transfer potentail

Overall: The oxidation of 1 NADH can be coupled with the rephosphorylation of MULTIPLE ADP molecules
Driving force of Oxidative Phosphorylation
The electron transfer potential of NADH/FADH2 relative to O2
What is release of energy in reduction of O2 used for?
Release of energy = used to generate H+ gradient that is THEN used for synthesis of ATP and the trasnprot of metabolites across the membrane
Quanatative energy associated with H+ gradient
Delta G = RTln(C2/C1) + ZFdV
- c1 = concentration of the protons on one side of the mebrane AND c2 is the concetration of protons on the side opf the gradient to which the protons are moving
- pH is 1.4 lower than inside –> ln(c2/c1) = 3.2
- dV is the voltage potential across the mebrane –> Memrane potential is 0.14 V
- Z (charge of the proton) = +1 because outside is positive
- R = teh gas constant

Freidrich’s ataxia
Affects nervous + heart + Muscle
- Genetic Autosmal Recessive
- metabolism disorder
- Symton – bottom of feet is heard = feet roll
- heart probelm –> have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy = large cells = large heart – blood = fills and the nervous syetm is activated = heart contracts = the blood goes to the body BUT with the bigger cells = thick blood vessels = less blood held in the heart = have less blood being pumped
- Antiseption disorder – means the next generation will get it younger and young – younger generations get the disease faster
- Have GAA repeats in Frataxin gene = abnormal DNA
Where do High-potential Electrons of NADH enter the respiratory chain?
e- enter ETC at NADH Q Oxidoreductase
Electrons get passed form NADH –> Q = forms QH2 (passed by complex 1)
***Electrons carries between NADH and Q uses Flavin Mononumcleotoide and Fe-S proteins

What happens when Q acceps e-
The Q exiits near junction of hydrophillic protion and memebrane embedded protion
How do the strucutral elements cooportae to pump H+ into the matrix?
Q accepts 2 e- = generates Q2- –> negitive charge on Q2- interacts electrostatsically with negtive Amino Acids on memebrane embeded arme – the interaction causes confirmational change in long horizontal helix in B-helix elememy –> Confirmational change alters the structure of the verticle helizes -= have a chnage in pKA of Amino acids = allows H+ from the matrix to bind to the Amino Acids and THEN dissocaite into the watert linked chanel –> THEN can enter the intermmebrane space –> THEN Q2- tajes 2 H+ from matrix –> forms QH2 and QH2 leaves Q pool and another cycle can occur
Affect of QH2 forming
removes H+ = contributes to the formation of Proton Motive Force

What does Cyt have besides hemes?
In Addition to hemes –> Cyt has 2 fe-2S in center
Center of Complex 3
Has reike Center – unula in that one fe is coordinated by 2 His
Coordination = stabilizes center in reduced form = increases the reduction potential to accept the elerctons from QH2
Why do identical hemes have diffrent electron affinitys?
Identical hemes have different electron affinities because they are in diffreent envirnments
Mutations in Succinate Dehydrigenase
Result in increase in Succinate = facilitates in the development of cancer
Purpose of the Q cycle
The Q cycle funnels electrons from two electron carrier to a one elercton carrier and pumps protons
Electrons in QH2 Vs. cyt C
QH2 – carries 2 e-
cyt C –> Carries 1 e-
Q cycle overall
QH2 –> Cyt C
Q Cycle = Mechanism for coupling of e- transfer from Q to Cyt C to Transmemebramne proton pump
How many types of Q cycle exist?
2 types
Two halves of the Q cycle
Part 1 – One electron from QH2 reduces Cyt C and reacts with Q to form Q-
QH2 –> CytC + Q THEN Q –> Q-
Part 2 – Another QH2 reduces Cty C and Q-
QH2 –> cyt C + Q-
Protons in Q cycle
In one cycle – 4 protons are pumped out of the matrix and two are
Reaction of Q cycle
2QH2 + Q + 2Cty c oxd + 2 H+ (matrix)–> 2Q + QH2 + 2cty C red + 4H+ (ims)
Issue in Q cycle (
QH2 – pases 2 e- to Cyt c BUT Cyt C can only accept 1 electron
Solution: Mechanism for coupling of e- transfer from Q to Cyt C to Transmemebramne proton pump
Q cycle (depth)
2 QH2 molecules bind to complex at the same time –> each give 2 e- and 2H+ –> THE H+ GET RELEASED TO INTERMEMBRANE SPACE
- The first QH2 to exit the pool binds to the first Q binding spot (Q0) and its 2 e- travel through the complex to diofferent destinations -- 1st e- flows to Rieske center THEN to C1 THEN to molecule of oxidized Cyt C = converts cty C to reduced form 2nd e- passes through 2 heme groups of cty b to an oxidize Q in second binding site (Qi) --. reduces the Q to Q radical -- fully oxidizes Q leave the first site and enters the Q pool - Second molecule of QH2 binds to Q0 site of Ctc C and reacts in the same way at the first -- 1 e= goes to partially rediced Q in Qi --> the radical takes up 2H+ from the matric to form QH2
END: 4 H+ are released into IMPS and 2 H+ are removed from the matrix (removal still contributes to the gradient)
Result of 1 Q cycle
2 QH2 molecules are oxidized to from 2Q molecules –> THEN one Q Molecule is reduced to QH2
Purpose of Q cycles
Solves the problem of funneling elerctons from a 2 e- carrier to a 1 e- carrier
IN essence – its a recycling system that makes use of both electrons effectively

***Want to capture as much of the dG as possible in form of the proton gradient for ATP sytnthesis
Heme A in Complex 4
Different than heme in C and C1
Has:
1. A formyl Group instead of CH3
2. A C17 hydrocrabon chain replaces Vinyl Group
3. heme is not covalentley attatched to protein
Complex 4 Mechinsm
- Two molecules of cyt C transfer e- to reduces CuB and Heme A3
- electrons from 2 molecules are red cyt C flow down ETC within Complex 4 – one e- stops at CuB and one at heme a# –> THEY BOTH bind to O2 molecule
- Reduced CuB and Fe in heme a3 bind O2 = forms perpxide bridge
- As O2 binds to e- peroxide bridge forms
- The addition of 2 more e- and 2 more H+ cleaves the peroxide bridge
- Two more e- of Cyt C bind and release e- that travel to active center
- The addition of an e- as well at H+ to each Oxygen reduces the 2 oxugens to Cub2+-OH and Fe3+-OH
- The addition of 2 H+ leads to release of H2O
- reactions with more H+ ions allow the release of 2 molecules of water and resets enzymes to oxidized form
Affect of Oxidizing Cytochrome C
Also converts Oxygen to water
Heme a and Heme a3
Have distict redox potentoals bevause they ate located in different envirnments within Complex 4
Active center in Complex 4
Heme a3 and CuB –> Forms active center at O2 at with O2 –> goes to water
Protons in Complex 4
4H+ come from the matrix = consumtion of 4H+ contibutes to gradient
dG in complex 4
Each H+ moving = 21.8kJ –> 4 = 87.2 kJ –. LESS than the dG avalable from reducihng water – what is the fate of the missing dG –> Cty C Oxidase uses the energy to pump 4 additional H+ from matrix to intermemebrane space = 8H+ are removed from the matrix
Two things that affect Complex 4 mechanism
- Charge nuertrality – is mainatined in the interior of proteins -> THIS adding e- to site = favors H+ binding
- Confirmational Change occurs (espcially for a3-Cub) –> in one confirmation the H+ can enyter prtein from matrix side and in another confirmation they exit to the intermembrane space
