Study Notes
Mitochondrial Transport Systems
- Phosphate and ATP/ADP translocases provide substrates for ATP synthase and export ATP.
- The Malate Aspartate Shuttle moves electrons from cytosolic NADH to mitochondrial NAD+.
- The Glycerol-3-Phosphate Shuttle transfers electrons from cytosolic NADH to mitochondrial NAD+.
ATP Yield and Regulation
- ATP yields from glucose differ slightly in liver and muscle in aerobic conditions.
- The rate of respiration is dependent on concentrations of substrates and products.
Inhibitors of Electron Transport and ATP Synthesis
- Cyanide blocks electron transport and ATP synthesis.
- Oligomycin blocks the proton channel of ATP Synthase.
- ATP synthesis requires electron transport, and electron transport requires ATP synthesis.
Uncouplers of Electron Transport and ATP Synthesis
- Electron transport and ATP synthesis can be uncoupled.
- Uncoupling occurs in brown fat and allows non-shivering thermogenesis.
- Dinitrophenol (DNP) is a diet aid that uncouples electron transport and ATP synthesis.
- Uncoupling agents allow O2 consumption to occur without ATP synthesis.
