ETS & Oxidative Phosphorylation

Redox Energy Calculation:

• Calculate the efficiency of energy capture in the oxidation of NADH by the electron transport system. KEY

 

Consider the relative reduction pattern of the ETS in the presence of NADH (highly reduced) oxygen (highly oxidized) and low [ADP].

What would a plot of reduction vs. ETS components (e.g. NADH, FADH₂, CoQH₂, cyt C, etc.) look like? KEY
