- ATP Synthase contains with in it one of the most conserved residues in a protein we know. Asp 61. This is the amino acid that carries the proton. a. Why would this residue be so highly conserved? What would happen if a mutation occurred that would change Asp to Ala? b. At the end of one spin of ATP synthase when the proton is in a position to leave to the intermembrane space the Asp comes into close contact with another very highly conserved residue Arg 210. Explain how this Arg residue could help the proton attached to Asp to leave. Hint think pKa Answer both parts with good explanationarrow_forwardAll of the following are shown in the Q cycle of the Complex III, except: a. That electrons are donated by QH2 b. That translocation of H+ occurs from the intermembrane space to the mitochondrial matrix c. That cytochrome c is the electron acceptor d.

The pH in the mitochondrial matrix is higher than the pH in the intermembrane space. C. The proton concentration gradient and the membrane potential across the inner mitochondrial membrane tend to work against each other in driving protons from the intermembrane space into the matrix. D. The difference in proton concentration across the inner mitochondrial membrane has a much larger effect than the membrane potential on the total proton-motive force.arrow_forwardDescribe the impact of each of the following on cellular respiration 1.
