Krebs cycle

group (2C) from acetyl CoA with oxaloacetate (4C) to yield citrate (6C) and coenzyme A

Electron Transport
The reduced coenzymes NADH and FADH2 produced from
glycolysis, oxidation of pyruvate, and the citric acid cycle are oxidized to provide the energy for the synthesis of ATP
In electron transport or the respiratory chain,
• hydrogen ions and electrons from NADH and FADH2 are
passed from one electron acceptor or carrier to the next
until they combine with oxygen to form H2O
• energy released during electron transport is used to
synthesize ATP from ADP and Pi during oxidative
phosphorylation

Electron Transport System
In the electron transport system,
• there are five protein
complexes, which are numbered
I, II, III, IV, and V
• two electron carriers, coenzyme
Q and cytochrome c, attached
to the inner membrane of the
mitochondrion, carry electrons
between these protein
complexes bound to the inner
membrane
Trang 26Electron Transport Chain
In electron transport, the oxidation of NADH and FADH2
provides hydrogen ions and electrons that eventually
react with oxygen to form water.

Complex I
In complex I,
• electron transport begins when hydrogen ions and
electrons are transferred from NADH to complex I.
• loss of hydrogen from NADH regenerates NAD+ to
oxidize more substrates in oxidative pathways such
as the citric acid cycle.
• hydrogen ions and electrons are transferred to the
mobile electron carrier CoQ, forming CoQH2.
• CoQH2 carries electrons from complexes I and II to
complex III.
Trang 28Complex I, Electron Transfer
During electron transfer,
• H+ ions are pumped through complex I into the
intermembrane space, producing a reservoir of H+
(hydrogen ion gradient).
• for every two electrons that pass from NADH to CoQ, 4H+ are pumped across the mitochondrial membrane, producing a charge separation on opposite sides of
the membrane.

Complex II
Complex II consists of the enzyme succinate
dehydrogenase from the citric acid cycle.
In complex II,
• CoQ obtains hydrogen and electrons directly from
FADH2 This produces CoQH2 and regenerates the
oxidized coenzyme FAD, which becomes available to oxidize more substrates.
Trang 30Complex III
Complex II consists of the enzyme succinate
dehydrogenase from the citric acid cycle.
In complex II,
• CoQ obtains hydrogen and electrons directly from
FADH2 and becomes CoQH2.
• two electrons are transferred from the mobile carrier
CoQH2 to a series of iron-containing proteins called
cytochromes.
• electrons are then transferred to two cytochrome c,

Complex III, Cytochrome c
Cytochrome c
• contains Fe3+/Fe2+, which is
reduced to Fe2+ and oxidized
to Fe3+.
• generates energy from electron
transfer to pump 4H+ from the
matrix into the intermembrane
space, increasing the hydrogen
ion gradient.
Trang 32Complex IV
At complex IV,
• four electrons from four cytochrome c are passed to
other electron carriers.
• electrons combine with hydrogen ions and oxygen
(O2) to form two molecules of water.
• energy is used to pump H+ from the mitochondrial
matrix into the intermembrane space, further

Oxidative Phosphorylation
Energy is coupled with the production of ATP in a process
called oxidative phosphorylation In 1978, Peter
Mitchell theorized about a chemiosmotic model, which
• links the energy from electron transport to a hydrogen ion gradient that drives the synthesis of ATP.
• allows complexes I, III, and IV to act as hydrogen ion
pumps, producing a hydrogen ion gradient.
• equalizes pH and electrical charge between the matrix and intermembrane space that occurs when H+ must
return to the matrix.
Trang 34Oxidative Phosphorylation, ATP
In the chemiosmotic model,
• H + cannot move through the inner membrane but returns to the matrix by passing through a fifth protein complex in the inner
membrane called ATP synthase (also called complex V).
• the flow of H + from the intermembrane space through the ATP
synthase generates energy that is used to synthesize ATP
from ADP and Pi.
This process of oxidative phosphorylation couples the energy

Electron Transport and ATP Synthesis
• When NADH enters electron transport at complex I, the
energy transferred can be used to synthesize 2.5 ATP
• When FADH2 enters electron transport at complex II, it
provides energy for the synthesis of 1.5 ATP
• Current research indicates that the oxidation of one
NADH yields 2.5 ATP and one FADH2 yields 1.5 ATP
Trang 36Regulation of Electron Transport and
When a cell is active and ATP is consumed rapidly, the
elevated levels of ADP will activate the synthesis of ATP

Trang 4223.3 ATP Energy from Glucose
The malate–aspartate
shuttle transfers the
energy stored in NADH
to transporters that
move from the cytosol
into the mitochondrial
matrix, where NADH is
regenerated for use in
electron transport

ATP from Glycolysis
The total ATP from complete oxidation of glucose is
calculated by combining the ATP produced from
• glycolysis (glucose produces 7 ATP):
five ATP from two NADH (malate–aspartate shuttle)
and two ATP from direct phosphate transfer.
• the oxidation of pyruvate.
• the citric acid cycle.
• electron transport.
In glycolysis, the oxidation of glucose stores energy in
two NADH molecules and two ATP molecules from direct phosphate transfer
Trang 44Malate–Aspartate Shuttle
Because glycolysis occurs in the cytosol,
• the NADH produced cannot pass through the
mitochondrial inner membrane
• the hydrogen ions and electrons from NADH can be
moved in and out of the mitochondria by a transporter, the
malate–aspartate shuttle.
• malate dehydrogenase catalyzes the reaction of
oxaloacetate and NADH to yield malate and NAD+
• a transporter binds the malate and carries it across the
membrane into the matrix, where malate dehydrogenase
oxidizes malate back to oxaloacetate
Trang 45General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life, 5/e

Malate–Aspartate Shuttle, ATP
The oxidation to oxaloacetate provides hydrogen ions and
electrons that are used to reduce NAD+ to NADH, which can
now enter electron transport to synthesize ATP
Trang 46Malate–Aspartate Shuttle, ATP
Because the oxaloacetate produced in the matrix
cannot cross the mitochondrial membrane, it
• is converted back to aspartate;
• moves out of the matrix back into the cytosol; and
• undergoes transamination, which converts it to
oxaloacetate.
The resulting NAD+ can participate again in
glycolysis in the cytosol.

ATP from Oxidation of Pyruvate
Under aerobic conditions, pyruvate
• enters the mitochondria.
• is oxidized to give acetyl CoA, CO2, and NADH.
Because glucose yields two pyruvate,
• two NADH enter electron transport.
• their oxidation leads to the production of five ATP.
Trang 48ATP from Citric Acid Cycle
The two acetyl CoA produced from two pyruvate
enter the citric acid cycle Two acetyl CoA from one
glucose produce a total of
• six NADH;
• two FADH2; and
• two ATP.
In electron transport, six NADH produce 15 ATP,
and two FADH2 produce 3 ATP

ATP from Citric Acid Cycle
In two turns of the citric acid cycle, a total of 20 ATP are produced.
6 NADH × 2.5 ATP/NADH = 15 ATP
2 FADH2 × 1.5 ATP/FADH2 = 3 ATP
2 GTP × 1 ATP/GTP = 2 ATP
Total two turns = 20 ATP
The overall equation for the reaction of two acetyl CoA is
