Study Notes
Mitochondrial Function and DNP: A Detailed Overview
- Proton-motive force (p) visualizes the proton-electrochemical energy in active mitochondria with gradients
- Treatment with DNP uncouples glucose oxidation and ATP formation by increasing inner membrane permeability to H+
- DNP, a lipid-soluble agent, inhibits ATP formation and was historically used as a deadly diet pill
- Differences in endogenous uncoupling proteins (UCPs) account for variations in metabolism rates
- DNP inserts into the inner mitochondrial membrane, shuttling protons between intermembrane space and matrix, causing excessive heat production
- ATP synthase is the enzyme responsible for ATP formation in mitochondria
- The enzyme consists of two major portions, F1 and F0, with F0 containing a channel for proton conduction
- The number of subunits in the F0 particle's c ring varies (10-14) and is dependent on the enzyme source
- Paul Boyer's binding change mechanism hypothesis explains how a proton electrochemical gradient drives ATP synthesis
- Peroxisomes are small organelles containing enzymes for metabolic reactions and oxidative activities
- Zellweger syndrome is a rare inherited disease characterized by neurologic, visual, and liver abnormalities due to peroxisome deficiency
- Mitochondrial disorders are often linked to mutations in mtDNA and are inherited maternally
