Oxidative Phosphorylation

What is it?

Process in which ATP is formed as a result of the transfer of electrons from NADH or FADH2 to O2 via a series of electron carriers

Oxidation of glucose:Glycolysis: 2ATP 2NADH (5ATP)

Pyruvate dehyd: 2NADH (5ATP)

Citric acid cycle: 2ATP 6NADH (15ATP) 2FADH2 (3ATP)

Oxidative phos: ~26-28ATP

TOTAL: ~30-32ATP

Occurs in mitochondria

Oxidative PhosphorylationWhat is mitochondria?2 membranes:Inner - only permeable to O2, H2O transporters req’d for ATP, Pi, pyruvate, etc. folding increases surface area (site of ox. phos. machinery)Matrix contains:citric acid cycle enzymesFatty acid oxidation enzymes (discuss later)

Oxidative PhosphorylationHistory

1961 - Peter Mitchell proposed chemiosmotic hypothesis: energy from e- transport is stored in a proton gradient which is then used to make ATP

Experimental support:1. Uncouplers: dinitrophenol carries H+ across membrane, dissipating the H+ gradient

DNP-treated mito endlessly consume O2 with NO ATP synthesis

2. Artificial H+ gradients drive ATP synthesis

Oxidative PhosphorylationWhat are the electron carriers?

NADH, NADPH (cannot cross inner mito membrane, shuttle their e-)FMN, FAD (directly involved in Ox phos)

NADH, NADPH and FADH2 each carry 2e-

FMN can carry 1 or 2e-

Membrane boundHydrophobic quinone (coenzyme Q)Q can carry 1 or 2e- Q floats free in lipid bilayer and moves e- from complexes I and II to III


Iron-containing proteins (cytochromes and Fe-S proteins)Cyt carry 1 e-, heme, found in complexes III and IV and cytochrome c


FeS carry 1 e-, found in complexes I, II, and III, Fe2+ or Fe3+

Cytochrome cPeripheral membrane protein that shuttles e- between complexes III and IVFe is linked to His and Met side chains

Oxidative PhosphorylationEnergetics of Ox. Phos.

1/2 O2 + NADH + H+ H2O + NAD+

G˚ = -220 kJ/mol

An electrochemical gradient across the inner membrane is formed:electrical: outside is more positivechemical: proton concentration gradient (pHout is 1.4 units < pHin

Energy of 3H+ transported drives ATP synthesis

ADP + Pi + 3H+ ATP + H2OG˚ = +30.5 kJ/mol


ControlOx. Phos cannot occur without:

source of e- (NADH)sink for e- (O2)substrates for ATP synthase (ADP and Pi)

[ADP] is limiting factor

Inhibit electron transfer
