Document Summary

Learning objectives: structure of the mitochondrion, transport systems of the mitochondrion, the etc, coenzymes of the electrons transport chain, cytochromes. Elementary steps of the second half-reaction take place in the mitochondrion. 12 electron pairs move from nadh and fadh2 to the electron transport chain. There are more than 10 redox centers, in 4 enzyme complexes: electron transfer pumps protons out of the matrix in the intermembrane space. The resulting electrochemical gradient drives the synthesis of atp from adp and pi in a process known as oxidative phosphorylation. Concentrations of metabolites and ions in the intermembrane space are equal to those in the cytosol. Metabolites are transported to and from the matrix via specialized systems. Freeze-fracture and freeze-etch electron micrographs are used to visualize them: density of inner membrane particles = 2x larger than outer membrane. The glycerophosphate shuttle: nadh produced by glycolysis cannot permeate the mitochondrial inner membrane. Electrons from nadh are transported into the matrix using the glycerophosphate shuttle.
