Mitochondrial Electron Transport Chain System of Linked Electron Carriers
Components of Electron Transport Process • Reoxidation of NADH and FADH2 • Sequential oxidation-reduction of multiple redox centers (four enzyme complexes) • Production of proton gradient across the mitochondrial membrane
Oxidative Phosphorylation Synthesis of ATP driven by free energy of electrochemical gradient
Coupling of Electron Transport and ATP Synthesis NOTE: ATP Synthesis in the Mitochondrion
The Mitochondrion • Prokaryotic origin • Double membrane bound • Genome • Human: encodes 13 genes, all ETC subunits.
Mitochondrial Outer Membrane Permeable to molecules smaller than ~5 kD

Types of Transport • Nonmediated Transport (Diffusion) • H2O; O2; CO2 • Mediated Transport • Passive-mediated Transport(facilitated diffusion) • Active Transport • Facilitated by Proteins: • Carriers, Transporters, Translocases, or Permeases.
Kinetic Properties of Mediated Transport • Saturation kinetics • Speed and specificity • Susceptibility to competitive inhibition • Susceptibility to chemical inactivation
Entry of “NADH” into Mitochondria No NADH Transporter
ADP-ATP Translocator ADP/ATP Exchanger Driven by electrochemical gradient
Phosphate Transport Driven by ∆pH
Phosphate Transporter H+(out) H2PO4–(out) H+(in) H2PO4–(in)
Electron Transport Electron Transport is an Exergonic Process
Standard Reduction Potential Difference ∆Eo’ = Eo’(e–acceptor)– Eo’(e–donor) ∆Go’ = –nF∆Eo’ For negative G need positive E E(acceptor) > E(donor) Note: reduction potential is extremely pH sensitive E = Eo’ + 0.06V*(7-pH)
