Is this enough???
The electron transport chain
The electron transport chain1. Hydrogen atoms released from NADH and FADH as
they are oxidised2. Hydrogen atoms split into protons and electrons3. Electrons move along the electron transport chain,
losing energy at each carrier4. Energy is used to pump protons into intermembrane
space forming an electrochemical gradient5. Protons move down electrochemical gradient back to
matrix via ATP synthase6. Movement of protons drives synthesis of ATP from ADP
and inorganic phosphate7. Protons, electrons and oxygen combine to form water,
the final electron acceptor
Evidence for chemiosmosis1. pH of intermembrane space is lower than pH of
matrix– Proton gradient exists between intermembrane space and
matrix
2. Artificial vesicles created with proton pump proteins resulted in ↓ pH in vesicle– Proton gradient can be used to synthesise ATP
3. Mitochondria in pH8 solution produced no ATP– Proton gradient can be used by mitochondria to make ATP
4. Uncouplers destroyed proton gradient in mitochondria– Proton gradient is required by mitochondria to make ATP
How much ATP?• Oxidative phosphorylation makes ATP
using energy from NADH and FADH
• 1 NADH → 2.5 ATP• 1 FADH → 1.5 ATP
More cutbacks:In 1997 1 NADH → 3 ATP and 1 FADH → 2 ATP!
