DCCD (diocyclohexylcarbodiimide) inhibits oxidative phosphorylation when the substrate is mitochondrial NADH. DCCD is a drug that binds to ATP synthase and blocks proton transport through the ion channel.
a) Explain what the consequences of DCCD on cellular energy production are.
b) Suggest at least one other cellular effect of DCCD and explain this effect.
Arsenate (AsO³-) closely resembles phosphate in structure and reactivity. However, arsenate esters are unstable and are
spontaneously hydrolyzed.
If arsenate is added to actively respiring mitochondria, what would be the effect on ATP synthesis?
ATP synthesis will decrease because cells require less energy when arsenate is available.
ATP synthesis will not be affected because mitochondria are incapable of taking up arsenate.
ATP synthesis will stop due to the formation arsenate-ADP anhydrides.
ATP synthesis will increase because arsenate anhydride hydrolysis increases ATP turnover.
If arsenate is added to actively respiring mitochondria, what would be the most likely effect on the rate of the
electron-transport chain?
The rate of electron transport will decrease, because arsenate inhibits Complexes I and II.
The rate of electron transport will decrease, because arsenate inhibits the citric acid cycle.
The rate of electron transport will increase, because arsenate increases the demand…
The condensation reaction catalyzed by ß-ketoacyl-ACP synthase synthesizes a four-carbon unit by combining a two-carbon
unit and a three-carbon unit, with the release of CO₂.
What is the thermodynamic advantage of this process over one that simply combines two two-carbon units?
The reaction is reversible and does not require the input of ATP.
The exergonic release of CO₂ drives the irreversible reaction in the direction of fatty acid synthesis.
The release of CO₂ is endergonic and results in the production of ATP.
The reaction is endergonic and requires the input of ATP.

- Which of the following statements best explains why the activity of ATP-citrate lyase and malic enzyme are often paired together? The use of ATP by ATP-citrate lyase means that NADH needs to be regenerated cytosolically so that more ATP can be generated via shuttle systems and replace the ATP used by ATP-citrate lyase ATP-citrate lyase produces ATP and malic enzyme produces NADPH, both needed in the fatty acid biosynthetic pathway The activity of ATP-citrate lyase and malic enzyme never are correlated, they always function in different realms of metabolism The generation of acetyl CoA is a substrate for fatty acid synthesis in the cytosol and NADPH is generated as the anabolic electron carrierarrow_forwardDiscuss the composition of the transition state for the formation of ATP by ATP Synthase. a) Where is the active site for this enzyme located? b) How are the amino acid side chains from the α and β subunits of ATP Synthase involved? c) Discuss the importance of Mg+2 in the mechanism of this enzyme.arrow_forwardElectrons are continuously transferred from higher-energy carriers to lower-energy carriers in the electron transport chain, yet somehow iron is utilized as an electron carrier multiple times.
