Cards

Term
Oxidation
Definition
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2; ∆G* = -2823
Term
Where NADH is formed
Definition
Glycolysis:
-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydroenase
-pyruvate dehydrogenase

KREBS:
-Isocitrate dehydrogenase
-α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex
-malate dehydrogenase
Term
Where FADH2 is formed
Definition
Succinate Dehydrogenase
Term
Porin
Definition
located on the outer membrane of the mitochondria.
protein that forms non-specific pores that permit free diffusion of up to 10-kd molecules
Term
Inner Mitochondrial Membrane
Definition
-controls the passage of metabolites and ions
-freely permeable to O2
-creates 1. generation of Ionic gradients across this barrier, which results in 2. compartmentalization of metabolic functions between cytosol and mitochondria
Term
Cistae
Definition
Form microcompartments that restrict the diffusion of substrates and ions between the intercristal and intermembrane spaces.
Term
ADP-ATP translocator
Definition
-located in the inner mitochondrial membrane
-electorgenic antiport
-has two conformation: facing in and facing out
-exchanges ADP^(3-) for ATP^(4-)
Term
Inhibitors of ADP-ATP translocator
Definition
Atractyloside, Carboxyatractyloside, Bangkrekic acid
Term
P¡ Transport
Definition
(phosphate carrier)
-eclectroneutral P¡-H+ symport
-driven by ∆pH (pH higher, [H+] lower inside)
Term
Ca2+
Definition
-Acts as a second messenger, so it must be precisely controlled.
-can be stored in Mito, ER, and extracellular places
Term
Ca2+ Tansport
Definition
-INFLUX: is driven by the membrane potential (∆ψ, inside negative). Depends on external [Ca2+]
-EFFLUX: indirectly controlled by the Na+ gradient across the inner mitochondrial Membrane. (Ca2+ exits only in exchange for Na+)
Term
Oxidation by the KREBS
Definition
-controlled by [Ca2+]
-cytosolic Ca2+ increases caused by muscle activity
-matrix levels increase
-activates the enzymes in KREBS
-increases [NADH]
-which is reoxidized by oxidative phosphorylation
-generates ATP for increased muscle activity
Term
Flavoprotein Dehydrogenase
Definition
On the inner mitochondrial membrane's outer surface.
-supplies electrons to the electron transport chain
Term
Electron Transport Chain
Definition
->series of four protein complexes
-electrons pass from lower to higher standard reduction potentials.
Term
Coenzyme Q/Ubiquinone
Definition
carries electrons from complexes I and II to compolex III
Term
Cytochrome C
Definition
-Carries electrons from Complex III to Complex IV
-peripheral membrane protein bound to outer surface of the inner mitochondrial membrane.
-it's binding sites contains several invariant Lys residues that lie in a ring around the exposed edge of its otherwise buried heme group.
-act in the opposite ways of enzymes
Term
Inhibitors of Electron Transport Chain
Definition
Rotenone, AMytal, Antimycin, Cyanide
Term
Important Substrates of Electron Transport Chain
Definition
TMPD (oxidized), TMPD (reduced), Dehydroascorbic acid, Ascorbic Acid.
Term
Complex I (NADH Dehydrogenase)
Definition
-passes electrons from NADH to CoQ
-contains one molecule of FMN
-contains 6-7 Fe-S clusters
Term
Fe-S clusters
Definition
-each Fe group is attached to four Sulfur gorups and some with Cys or His groups.
-Four Types:
[Fe-S]
[4Fe-4S]
[4Fe-3S]
[2Fe-2S]
Term
Rieske Fe-S proteins
Definition
[2Fe-2Fs] cluster is coordinated by two HIs rather than Cys.
Term
Ferredoxin
Definition
two [4Fe-4S] clusters contain one Fe(II) and three Fe(III) in oxidzed, but two Fe(II) and two Fe(III) in reduced
Term
FMN and Ubiquinone
Definition
-have hydrophobic tails that mediates membrane solubility.
-can adopt 3 oxidation states
-provide a conduit btwn the two-electron donor NADH and the one-electron acceptors, the cytochromes.
Term
Complex II (Succinate: Coenzyme Q oxidoreductase)
Definition
-contains succinate dehydrogenase and three other subunits
-passes electrons from succinate to CoQ
-is covalently bound to FAD, 3 Fe-S clusters, and one cytochrome b560
Term
Complex III (Succinate: CoQ oxidoreductase)
Definition
-passes electrons from reduced CoQ to cytrochrome C
-contains four redox cofactors:
- two b-type hemes
-one c-type heme
- one [2Fe-2S] cluster
Term
Cytochromes
Definition
-heme proteins that transport electrons
-redox-active
-transfer electrons through sigma bonds at significant rates.
can be easily and specifically detected.
-Three types:
a, b, c
Term
Complex IV (CytC oxidase)
Definition
-terminal enxyzme of the electron transport chain
-catalyzes the one-electron oxidarins of four consecutive reduced cytochrome c molecules and the concomitant four-electron reduction of one O2 molecule to yield H2O.
