An iron-sulfur protein in Complex 3 donates an electron to cytochrome c1. The reduction half-reactions and Eº' values are shown below. a) write the balanced equation for the reaction and calculate the standard free energy change. b) How can you account for the fact that this reaction occurs spontaneously in the cell? FeS(ox) + e- ---> FeS(red) Eº' = 0.280 V cyt c1 (Fe3+) + e- ---> cyt c1 (Fe2+) Eº' = 0.215 V
In a coupled reaction, how can you tell the electron donor halfreaction from the electron acceptor half reaction?
With the standard reduction potentials given,  standard reduction 1 = -0.185 standard reduction 2 = -0.320 a) Which reduction will the electrons flow FROM the electron donor? b) Which reduction is the electron acceptor where the electrons will flow to?
