5 FAD = Flavin adenine dinucleotide FMN = Flavin mononucleotide

6 Oxidative breakdown of foodstuffs reduced coenzymes NADH and FADH 2 generated during TCA cycle, fatty acid oxidation or glycolysis are oxidized by the electron transport chain (respiratory chain)

7 Mitochondria The system of electron carriers of ETC is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane

9 ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN Electrons are transferred from one complex to another in steps The final acceptor of electrons is a molecule of oxygen (O 2 )

10 ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN Electron carriers (ETC complexes) are arranged in order of increasing redox potential (from the most negative to the most positive redox potential) Increasing affinity for electrons, which drives the flow of electrons in this direction! During reduction-oxidation reactions energy is released!

11 Energy released in reduction-oxidation reactions is used for pumping H + from matrix into intermembrane space Higher concentration of H + in intermembrane space electrochemical potential gradient or proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane Proton gradient provides energy for synthesis of ATP!

12 protonmotive force = electrochemical potential gradient ΔpH = ph units ΔΨ = V The energy stored in protonmotive force drives the synthesis of ATP by the movement of protons down the electrochemical gradient through the ATP-synthase Peter Mitchell s chemiosmotic theory

16 ATP SYNTHASE ADP + P i ATP Energy from the proton gradient is used for the release of the newly synthesized ATP Oxidative phosphorylation yields most of ATP produced in cell

17 ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN PRODUCES THE MAJORITY OF ENERGY = ATP FROM FUEL OXIDATION NADH oxidation (2e-) ATP FADH 2 oxidation (2e-) ATP ATP

18 SUMMARY - Electron transfer within inner mitochondrial membrane occurs stepwise through a series of four complexes and two mobile carriers to the final acceptor O 2 - As electrons move through complexes 1, 3 and 4, protons are taken up from the matrix and released on the cytosolic side of the membrane - Higher concentration of protons in intermembrane space creates electrochemical potential gradient or proton gradient (ph in matrix is higher and it is negatively charged compared to intermembrane space) - Proton gradient causes proton reflux into the matrix through ATPsynthase that drives the formation of ATP by causing the release of bound ATP from the catalytic site

19 RESPIRATORY CONTROL Rate of electron transport is tightly coupled to ATP synthesis NAD + NAD + NAD + Higher ATP consumption ( ADP) leads to increased rate of electron transport chain ( NAD + ) ADP, NAD + increased fuel oxidation (glycolysis, TCA, fatty acid oxidation) NAD + muscle contraction active transport biosynthesis ATP ADP + P i

20 CLINICAL CORRELATION Patient experiences a second myocardial infarction confirmed by an electrocardiogram showing direct evidence of severe ischemia (lack of blood flow) Elevated blood levels of creatine kinase-mb (CK-MB) and troponin I (TnI) Ischemia has caused hypoxia (low levels of oxygen) in the heart muscle, resulting in inadequate generation of ATP (needed for the activity of Na + /K + ATP-ase) This leads to irreversible cell injury (necrosis) and consequently to leakage of cellular proteins into the bloodstream.

21 CLINICAL CORRELATION Acute inhalation or ingestion of high concentrations of cyanide (CN - ), which is one of the most potent poisons, leads rapidly to convulsions, coma and death It binds to the Fe 3+ of heme a 3 in cytochrome oxidase and prevents electron transport to O 2 Mitochondrial respiration and energy (ATP) production cease leading to cell death.

30 SUMMARY ETC represents a series of redox reactions where electrons are eventually passed to the final acceptor oxygen Redox reactions cause H + pumping from mitochondrial matrix into the intermembrane space generating protonmotive force Reflux of H + back into the matrix drives ATP synthesis i.e. release of newly synthesized ATP from the enzyme (ATP synthase) ATP generated by oxidative phosphorylation can be used then in extramitochondrial compartments after being transported by specific mitochondrial transporter
