electron transport chain or respiratory
chain
it is present in the inner mitochondrial
membrane the electron transport chain
consists of various electron transport
or electron carrier molecules
transport molecules are arranged in a
sequence
they carry or transfer electrons from
reduced coenzymes like nadh fadh2 to the
final electron acceptor
that's oxygen
the electron transport molecules are
known as components of the respiratory
chain some of them are proteins however
non protein carriers are also present
the position of a particular component
in the respiratory chain depends on its
redox potential
the components of the respiratory chain
are arranged in the order of increasing
redox potential starting compounds have
negative redox potentials and terminal
components have positive redox
potentials therefore in the respiratory
chain electrons flow from negative to
positive
in the respiratory chain electrons flow
from nad to cytochromes via coenzyme q
and then from cytochromes to molecular
oxygen
coenzyme q also collects electrons from
fadh2
the transfer of electrons from
substrates to nad in Fe D it's catalyzed
by dehydrogenases
at the electronegative end of the
respiratory chain nad linked
dehydrogenases malate and glutamate
dehydrogenase catalyzed transfer of
electrons from substrates to nad
directly but electrons from substrates
like pyruvate and alpha ketoglutarate
are transferred via fa d
in contrast some fa d-link
dehydrogenases like succinate and
glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase
catalyze transfer of electrons from
substrates to coenzyme q of the
respiratory chain because their redox
potentials are more positive
many components of the respiratory chain
are present as complexes rather than
single entities
on any coenzyme Q in cytochrome C are
present as individual components whereas
rest of the components of the
respiratory chain are present as
complexes the respiratory chain consists
of four complexes and three mobile
carriers the complexes are complex 1 2 3
& 4 & mobile carriers are any d coenzyme
q cytochrome c and oxygen
all the complexes are integral membrane
proteins each complex is involved in
oxidation accepts electrons from mobile
electron carriers and passes electrons
to another mobile electron carrier
complex one complex one is NADH coenzyme
q reductase or NADH dehydrogenase
FMN in iron-sulfur clusters are
prosthetic groups of this enzyme
electrons collected by nad are
transferred to coenzyme Q by NADH
coenzyme q reductase via FMN in iron
sulfur cluster so nad is oxidized
complex too complex too is succinate
coenzyme q reductase it also contains
effe d and iron sulfur clusters complex
2 transfers electrons from succinate and
glycerol 3-phosphate to coenzyme q via
fa d and iron sulfur cluster
complex three
I'm Plex 3 is coenzyme q cytochrome c
reductase or cytochrome reductase
it also contains iron sulfur cluster
complex 3 transfers electrons from
coenzyme q to cytochrome C via
cytochrome B C and iron sulfur cluster
as a result of this coenzyme q gets
oxidized complex 4 is cytochrome oxidase
it transfers electrons from cytochrome c
to a final electron acceptor oxygen
hence cytochrome c is oxidized
