Respiratory Chains • Energy-rich molecules, such as glucose, are metabolized by a series of oxidation reactions ultimately yielding بالنهايه تعطي CO2 and water. • The metabolic intermediates of these reactions donate electrons to specific coenzymes— Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)— • These form the energy-rich reduced coenzymes, NADH and FADH2.
Electron Transport Chain Non-protein mobile carrier يحمل الالكترونات للكومبلس 3 Electron transport and ATP synthesis are tightly coupled processes
Electron transport chain These reduced coenzymes can, in turn, each donate a pair of electrons to a specialized set of electron carriers, collectively called the electron transport chain. As electrons are passed down the electron transport chain, they lose much of their free energy. Part of this energy can be captured and stored by the production of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate (Pi). This process is called oxidative phosphorylation The remainder of the free energy not trapped as ATP is used to drive ancillary reactions such as Ca2+ transport into mitochondria, and to generate heat. مفيده لتدفئه الجسم
Mitochondria منفذ Outer Membrane: permeable غير منفذ Inner membrane: impermeable Matrix: 50% protein Oxidation of pyruvate, Β-oxidation TCA cycle, Urea synthesis, NAD, FAD ADP+P=ATP
Mitochondrion • The electron transport chain is present in the inner mitochondrial membrane مهمهand is the final common pathway by which electrons derived from different fuels of the body flow to oxygen. • Electron transport and ATP synthesis by oxidative phosphorylation proceed continuously in all tissues that contain mitochondria. • Structure of the mitochondrion: The components of the electron transport chain are located in the inner membrane. • The outer membrane contains special pores, making it freely permeable to most ions and small molecules. • The inner mitochondrial membrane is a specialized structure that is impermeable to most small ions including H+, Na+, and K+, and small molecules such as ATP, ADP, pyruvate, and other metabolites important to mitochondrial function .
Specialized carriers or transport systems are required to move ions or molecules across this membrane. • ATP synthase complexes: These complexes of proteins contain domains that span جسر the inner mitochondrial membrane, and domains that appear as spheres that protrude into the mitochondrial matrix. • Matrix of the mitochondrion: This gel-like solution in the interior of mitochondria is 50% percent protein. • These molecules include the enzymes responsible for the oxidation of pyruvate, amino acids, fatty acids (by β-oxidation), and those of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. • The synthesis of glucose, urea, and heme occur partially in the matrix of mitochondria. • In addition, the matrix contains NAD+ and FAD (the oxidized forms of the two coenzymes that are required as hydrogen acceptors) and ADP and Pi, which are used to produce ATP. • [Note: The matrix also contains mitochondrial RNA and DNA (mtRNA and mtDNA) and mitochondrial ribosomes.]
Organization of the chain • The inner mitochondrial membrane can be disrupted into five separate protein complexes, called complexes I, II, III, IV, and V. • Complexes I to IV each contain part of the electron transport chain . Each complex accepts يتلقى or donatesيرسل electrons to relatively mobile electron carriers, such as coenzyme Q and cytochrome c. • Each carrier in the electron transport chain can receive electrons from an electron donor, and can subsequently donate electrons to the next carrier in the chain. • The electrons ultimately combine with oxygen and protons to form water. This requirement for oxygen makes the electron transport process the respiratory chain, which accounts for the greatest portion of the body's use of oxygen.

Mitochondria and apoptosis الموت المنظم للخليه • The process of apoptosis or programmed cell death may be initiated by the formation of pores in the outer mitochondrial membrane. • These pores allow cytochrome c to leave the intermembrane space and enter the cytosol. • Once in the cytosol,cytochrome c, in association with proapoptotic factors, activates a family of proteolytic enzymes (the caspases), causing cleavage of key proteins and resulting in the morphologic and biochemical changes characteristic of apoptotic cell death
Oxidative Phosphorylation Chemiosmotic Hypothesis

Proton pump: Electron transport is coupled to the phosphorylation of ADP by the transport (“pumping”) of protons (H+) across the inner mitochondrial membrane from the matrix to the intermembrane space. • The energy generated by this proton gradient is sufficient to drive ATP synthesis. • The proton gradient serves as the common intermediate that couples oxidation to phosphorylation. • ATP synthase: The enzyme complex ATP synthase (complex V) synthesizes ATP, using the energy of the proton gradient generated by the electron transport chain.
Uncoupling proteins (UCP) UCP1, also called thermogenin , is responsible for the activation of fatty acid oxidation and heat production in the brown adipocytes of mammals. مهمه
Inherited defects in oxidative phosphorylation • Defects in oxidative phosphorylation are more likely a result of alterations in mtDNA الدي ان اي الخاص بالميتوكندريا, which has a mutation rate about ten times greater than that of nuclear DNA. • Mutations in mtDNA are responsible for several diseases, including some cases of mitochondrial myopathies and Leber hereditary optic neuropathy. • The mtDNA is maternally قادم من الام inherited because mitochondria from the sperm cell do not enter the fertilized egg.
Membrane Transport Systems • The inner mitochondrial membrane is impermeable غير منفذ to most charged or hydrophilic substances. • However, it contains numerous transport proteins that permit passage of specific molecules from the cytosol (or more correctly, the intermembrane space) to the mitochondrial matrix.
