Using your drawing or sketching skills outline the chemiosmotic hypothesis for the mechanism by which oxidative phosphorylation is coupled with electron transport. How does uncoupling occur in tissues with uncoupling protein 1 (UPC1)? Under what circumstances would uncoupling be disadvantageous, and under what circumstances might it be advantageous?
2. a) Energetics of the electron transport. In the oxidative phase of oxidative phosphorylation, electrons are passed from NADH and ultimately to molecular oxygen through an electron transport chain comprised of multiple redox centers. Assume that an electron is passed through the chain along the route shown below. Clearly, there are steps missing, but we will skip those to emphasize the energetics of the electron transport. Calculate DE' and DGº' for each electron transfer step and record the values in the table. The reduction potentials for each of the redox centers are given in table 11.1. (F=96.4 kJ/V mol) Route: NADH → (Fe-S)N-5,6 Coenzyme Q → Cytochrome c₁ → Cytochrome a3 ⇒ 0₂ Table 11.1 STANDARD REDUCTION POTENTIALS (E°') FOR SELECTED ELECTRON CARRIERS IN THE ELECTRON TRANSPORT SYSTEM Electron carriers NAD+ + H+ + 2e → NADH Complex I (NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase) Fe-S (N-1b) Fe-S (N-3,4) Fe-S (N-5,6) Complex II (succinate dehydrogenase) FAD + 2H+ + 2e → FADH₂ (enzyme bound)…
