36

In the absence of O2, the pyruvate is reduced by NADH to _______

lactate

Tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle (Kreb's)

2 carbons are oxidized into CO2, regenerating the 4-carbon oxaloacetate needed to continue the cycle

Reduced coenzymes FADH2 and NADH are the primary products of the

TCA cycle

ATP formation driven by energy derived from high-energy electrons removed during substrate oxidation in pathways such as the TCA cycle, with the energy released for ATP formation by passage of electrons through the electron transport chain

oxidative phosphorylation

Electrons associated with either NADH or FADH2 are transferred through specific electron carriers that make up

The electron transport chain

Redox reactions are accompanied by a _________ in free energy

decrease

Transfer of electrons causes charge separation that can be measured as

redox potential

NADH formed during glycolysis enters the mitochondria via

malateaspartate or glycerol phosphate shuttles

polypeptides bound to either FAD or FMN

Flavoproteins

electron carrier consisting of a protein bound to a heme group - Fe or Cu metal ions

Cytochromes

a lipid-soluble molecule made of five-carbon isoprenoid units

Ubiquinone

____ Copper atoms are located within a single protein complex and alternate between Cu2+ and Cu3+

3

electron carrier containing Fe in association with inorganic sulfur - arranged in order of increasingly positive redox potential - sequence determined by use of inhibitors

Iron-sulfur proteins

(NADH dehydrogenase) catalyzes transfer of electrons from NADH to ubiquinone and transports 4 H+ per pair

Complex I

(succinate dehydrogenase) catalzses transfer of electrons from succinate to FAD to ubiquinone without transport of H+

Complex II

(cytochrome bc1) catalyzes the transfer of electrons from ubiquinone to cytochrome c and transports 4 H+ per pair

Complex III

(cytochrome c oxidase) catalyzes transfer of electrons to O2 and transports H+ across the inner membrane

Complex IV

large complex that adds four electrons to O2 to form two molecules of H2O

Cytochrome oxidase

Metabolic poisons CO, N3-, and CN- bind catalytic sites in complex

IV

Steps of oxidative phosphorylation

1. transfer of high-energy electrons from NADH or FADH2 to electron carriers in inner membrane


2. energy release from electron transport used to pump protons from matrix to inter membrane space


Then back through ATP synthase

concentration gradient between matrix and intermembrane space creates

pH gradient

energy present in both components of the gradients

proton-motive force

ATP synthesizing enzyme of the inner mitochondrial membrane

ATP synthase

Two chief components of ATP synthase

F1 headpiece - catalytic subunit, contains 3 catalytic sites for ATP synthesis


F0 basal piece (embedded in membrane) contains a channel through which protons are conducted from the intermembrane space to the matrix - contains c-ring

Number of c subunits in c ring

10-14

The binding change mechanism states:

-movement of protons through ATP synthase alters the binding affinity of the active site


-each active site goes through distinct conformations that have different affinities for substrates and product


-there is a structural basis of catalytic site conformation

Binding change mechanism - ___________ active sites on the catalytic subunit go through three changes;

Beta subunit


tight, loose, or open

Conformational change in Beta subunits is caused by

rotation of c wheel and bound subunit

pH open to matrix vs open to intermembrane space

matrix: >4.25


intermembrane <4.25

The most important factor controlling respiration rate

(reactive and toxic compound) is formed in peroxisomes and broken down by the enzyme catalase

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)

Mitochondrial disorders are inherited...

maternally

It is speculated that accumulations of mutations in mtDNA is a major cause of...

aging

syndrome characterized by lack of peroxisomal enzymes due to defects in translocation of proteins from the cytoplasm into the peroxisome

Zellweger

Caused by lack of a peroxisomal enzyme, leading to fatty acid accumulation in the brain and destruction of the myelin sheath of nerve cells

Adrenoleukodystrophy
