What is the mechanism by which re-oxidation of NADH + FADH2 via the ETC results in ATP synthesis?
ETC oxidizes NADH and FADH2 and donates e- to O2 while pumping protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane, the energy (electrochemical gradient) from the reduction of O2 to H2O is used to power ATP synthase/ F0F1-ATPase, which phosphorylates ADP to ATP
What phosphorylates ADP to ATP?
ATP synthase/ F0F1-ATPase
Where does ox phos occur?
Inner membrane of mitochondria
Components here: ATP synthase & ETC
Why does ox phos occur on the inner membrane of mitochondria?
To maintain a chemical gradient
How do electrons flow in ETC?
Electrons flow from NADH to NADH:CoQ oxidoreductase/complex I to coQ to cytochrome b-c1 complex (III) to cytochrome c to cytochrome c oxidase (IV)
How does oxidative phosphorylation occur?
Occurs from the reduction of O2 and generation of a chemical gradient that powers an ATP synthase to generate ATP
How does substrate-level phosphorylation occur?
Utilizes the release of high-energy bonds to phosphorylate an ADP molecule, accomplished without O2
What is the importance of iron, copper, and oxygen in the ETC?
The oxidation-reduction components of ETC = Complex I-IV, flavin mononucleotide (FMN) , Fe-S centers, CoQ, Fe in cytochrome b/c1/c/a/a3 and Cu in cytochrome a/a3
FMN accepts 2 e- from NADH and pass them to Fe-S centers that pass to CoQ
Fe atoms in cytochromes change from oxidated state (Fe3+) to reduced state (Fe2+)
Cu+ ions in cytochrome oxidase facilitate the collection of e- and reduction of O2
Proton motive force in ox phos: importance & generation
The movement of H+ across the impermeable membrane via action of the ETC ( chain of oxidation-reduction rxns with final e- acceptor = O2) creates an electrochemical gradient = proton motive force = potential energy of H+ reentering the matrix via ATP synthase = oxidative phosphorylation
What is 30% of energy from NADH/FADH2 oxidation by O2 used for?
ATP synthesis
What is 70% of energy from NADH/FADH2 oxidation by O2 used for?
Transport anion and Ca2+ into mitochondria
Released as HEAT
Glycerol 3-phosphate shuttle
In the cytosol, NADH is reoxidized to NAD+ by transferring e- to DHAP to make glycerol 3-P, which can be shuttled through the mitochondrial membranes via Glycerol 3-P shuttle; e- is donated to FAD and (eventually) donated to coQ
Malate-aspartate shuttle
NADH can transfer e- to cytosolic oxaloacetate to form malate which is transported via Malate-aspartate shuttle into matrix and malate is oxidized back to oxaloacetate to generate NADH; OA can convert to aspartate to pass back into cytosol
What hampers ETC & ATP production?
Deficiencies in iron, riboflavin, or niacin
What are iron, riboflavin, or niacin in terms of ETC & ATP production?
Coenzymes

Fe-S centers and redox reactions
Riboflavin is part of…
FAD, a coenzyme succinate DH, ETF-CoQ oxidoreductase & glycerol 3-phosphate DH
Riboflavin is also a
Electron acceptor that donates to the ETC
Niacin is a part of…
NAD, which is an E-acceptor that donates to ETC
Energy yield for glycolysis (aerobic v anaerobic)
BOTH produce 2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvates from one glucose molecule
Anaerobic glycolysis can … produce 2 ATP, since NADH is recycled to … and pyruvate is reduced to…
Only, NAD+, lactate
Aerobic glycolysis can continue to…
Oxidize pyruvate to acetyl CoA then to TCA
How much ATP can be formed via aerobic glycolysis
30-32 ATP
OXPHOS disease is caused by
Mutations in mitochondrial DNA
