DESCRIPTION OF ETC WITH DISCUSSION
The mitochondrial system is arranged into three complexes of electron carriers . 1, Flavoproteins : These proteins contain flavin , a coenzyme derived from riboflavin ( Vit B12). One important flavoprotein is flavin mono nucleotide 2. Ubiquinones (coenzyme Q): These are small non protein carriers. 3. Cytochromes : These are proteins with iron containing group, capable of existing alternately as reduced (Fe2+) and oxidized form (Fe3+). Cytochromes involved in ETC include cyt (b), cyt c1, cyt c, cyt a, cyt a3.
The first step, in electron transport chain is the transfer of high energy electrons from NADH to FMN. This transfer actually involves the passage of hydrogen atom with 2 e− to FMN, which then picks up an additional H+ from the surrounding aqueous medium. As a result of the first transfer, NADH is oxidized to NAD+, and FMN is reduced to FMNH2.
In the second step, FMNH2 passes 2 H+ to the other side of the mitochondrial membrane and passes 2 e− to coenzyme Q. As a result, FMNH2 is oxidized to FMN. Coenzyme Q also picks up additional 2H+ from the surrounding aqueous and releases to other side of the membrane. In the next step, electrons are passed successively from coenzyme Q to cyt b1, cyt c1, cyt c, cyt a, cyt a3. Each cytochrome in the chain is reduced, as itside of the mitochondrial membrane and passes 2 e− to coenzyme Q. As a result, FMNH2 is oxidized to FMN. Coenzyme Q also picks up additional 2H+ from the surrounding aqueous and releases to other side of the membrane. In the next step, electrons are passed successively from coenzyme Q to cyt b1, cyt c1, cyt c, cyt a, cyt a3. Each cytochrome in the chain is reduced, as it picks up electrons and is oxidized as it gives up electrons. The last cytochrome cyt a3 passes its electrons to molecular O2 which picks up protons from the surrounding medium to form H2O. FADH2 derived from the Krebs cycle is another source of electrons. Thus at the end of ETC, NADH pumps three protons (synthesizes 3ATPs) whereas FADH2 pumps only two protons (synthesizes 2ATPs).
Chemiosmotic Mechanism of ATP synthesis . In ETC, when energetic electrons from NADH pass down the carriers, some of the carriers (proton pumps) in the chain pump [actively transport] protons across the membrane to inner membrane space. The mitochondrial matrix becomes polarized. Thus in addition to a concentration gradient, an electrical charge gradient is created. The resulting electro chemical gradient has potential energy called proton motive force.
