    Study Notes

    Electron Transport Chain (ETC)

    • The main purpose of the ETC is to generate ATP during cellular respiration.
    • The primary energy source for the ETC is the proton gradient generated by the transfer of electrons.

    Conversion of Pyruvate to Acetyl-CoA

    • The molecule produced during the conversion of pyruvate to Acetyl-CoA is CO2.

    Beta Oxidation

    • The role of beta oxidation in cellular respiration is to break down fatty acids into Acetyl-CoA.

    Complexes of the Electron Transport Chain

    • Complex I: also known as NADH dehydrogenase, it transfers electrons from NADH to CoQ and generates a proton gradient.
    • Complex II: also known as succinate dehydrogenase, it transfers electrons from succinate to CoQ and does not generate a proton gradient.
    • Complex III: also known as cytochrome b-c1 complex, it transfers electrons from CoQ to cytochrome c and generates a proton gradient.
    • Complex IV: also known as cytochrome c oxidase, it transfers electrons from cytochrome c to oxygen and generates a proton gradient.

    Proton Translocation

    • The structural changes in Complex I direct H+ to move through translocation half-channels.

    Supramolecular Assemblies

    • Supramolecular assemblies or supercomplexes are formed by the complexes of the electron transport chain.

    ATP Synthesis

    • The power source for the ATP synthase to convert H+ gradient into ATP is the proton gradient generated by the ETC.
