Chapter 24, Problem 13P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Intermediates involved in the flow of nitrogen from nitrogen molecule to the heme group.

Concept introduction:

Heme is a coordination complex that consists of iron ion. It is coordinated to porphyrin ring, and to axial ligands. Most of the metalloproteins contain heme as the prosthetic group. Heme is found in many biologically important hemeproteins, such as myoglobin, hemoglobin, cytochromes, nitric oxide synthase, and catalases.

Less energetic electrons. Why are electrons carried by FADH 2 not as energy rich as those carried by NADH? What is the consequence of this difference?

Fo-F1 ATPase. The energy for ATP synthesis from ADP and Pi is provided by the downhill transport of protons through the rotary FoF1 ATP synthase (lecture 22).   The enzyme has 3 a-b and 12 ‘c’ subunits. The mitochondrion maintains Df=180 mV (negative inside), pHin = 8, pHout=7, [Pi] = 3 mM and ADP is present as well. How much energy is available (from the proton electrochemical gradient) for ATP synthesis under these conditions (in kJ/mol)?                                                                                                                  What [ATP]/[ADP] ratio will be established at steady-state under these conditions?                                                                                                                                                What would be the [ATP]/[ADP] ratio if the enzyme had only 9 ‘c’ subunits? Remember that full revolution of the crank (gamma subunit) produces 3 ATP.
