Flavin Mononucliotide( FMN)
• Can accept one or two electrons •Tightly bound to protein• Reduction potential: affected by interaction with protein
Iron Sulfur CentersThree TypesInorganic Sulfur Coordinated to Cysteine sulfur

- Three classes of cytochromesa,b and c
- Distinguished by differences in their light-absorption- Each has different reduction potential

Complex I:-NADH Dehydrogenase-A huge flavoprotein complex.- Membrane- Spanning. - More than 25 polypeptide chain- Tightly bound FMN group-Seven Fe-S centers of at least two different types- Drop in energy≈ -13 to 14 kcal
Q-cytochrome c Oxidoreductase(Cytochrome reductase or cytochrome bc1)• Catalyzes the transfer of electrons from QH2 to
cytochrome c• 11 subunits including two cytochrome subunits • Contain iron sulfur center• Contain three heme groups in two cytochrome
subunits– bL and bH in cytochrome b– c type in cytochrome c1
• Contain two CoQ binding sites

Passes electrons from Cytocrome c to oxygen• Contains cytochrome a and a3• Contains two copper• Contains oxygen binding sites• O2 must accept 4 electrons to be reduced to two H2O• Cytochrome c is one electron carrier
Cyt cred + 4H+ + O2 → Cyt cox + 2H2O• Partial reduction of O2 is hazardous.

ATP synthase• Large multisubunit enzyme
complex• Originally (mitochondrial
ATP’ase) FOF1 ATP’ase• FO Transmembrane: Proton
channel, 12 c and 1 a subunits
• F1 Head piece 3α3βγδε• F1 catalytic activity
The proton channel depends on both the a subunit and the c ring
The F0 and F1 subunits are connected in two ways:- central γϵ stalk- an exterior column
Αβ dimers have three different conformationsT tightL looseO open

Oxidation and Phosphorylation are tightly coupled
Control of oxidative phosphorylation
Control of oxidative phosphorylation• Electrons do not flow through electron
transport chain to O2 unlessADP ATP
• Oxidative phosphorylation requires:Source of electrons (NADH or succinate)ADP, Pi, O2

OxPhos Diseases• DNA in mitochondria mtDNA encodes 13 subunits
of comlexes I, III and IV• High rate of mutations (10x nuclear DNA)• Muta ons → Defect in oxida ve phosphorylation.
– Tissues with highest ATP demands affected most• Maternal inheritance• Accumulation of somatic mutations with age• Examples:- Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy
-myoclonic epilepsy and ragged-red fiber disease (MERRF)
