A central tenet in mitochondrial bioenergetics is that exergonic electron transfer drives the creation of an electrical potential () across the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM). This is entirely true. Another tenet of mitochondrial bioenergetics, that you will read everywhere, is that this electrical potential is created by three proton pumps, Complexes I, III and IV. This is less true. A proton pump is this: It’s a protein that binds a proton from one side of a membrane, translocates that very proton across the membrane, through the protein, and ejects it into solution on the other side of the membrane. Complex I is a proton pump, but we did not discuss complex I. Complex III is NOT a proton pump, yet it creates electrical potential across the IMM. It is an electron/proton charge separation device. Complex IV is both types of these devices. Fifty percent of the electrical potential that complex IV creates is as a proton pump. But, 50% of the electrical potential that complex IV…
Electron transfer translocates protons from the mitochondrial matrix to the external medium, establishing a pH gradient across the inner membrane (outside more acidic than inside). The tendency of protons to diffuse back into the matrix is the driving force for ATP synthesis by ATP synthase. During oxidative phosphorylation by a suspension of mitochondria in a medium of pH 7.3, the pH of the matrix has been measured as 7.6. (a) Calculate [H+] in the external medium and in the matrix under these conditions. (b) What is the outside-to-inside ratio of [H+]? Comment on the energy inherent in this concentration difference (just the energy from the concentration gradient, not the electrochemical potential). Assume this a mammalian system, so the temperature is constant at 37oC).
