Oxidative Phosphorylation (Ch. 19)1. The NADH dehydrogenase complex of the mitochondrial respiratory chain promotes thefollowing series of oxidation-reduction reactions, in which Fe* and Fe2* represent the iron iniron-sulfur centers, Q is ubiquinone, QH2 is ubiquinol, and E is the enzyme:(1) NADH + H* + E-FMN → NAD* + E-FMNH2(2) E-FMNH2 + 2Fe³+(3) 2FE2+ + 2H* + Q·→ E-FMN + 2Fe²+ + 2H+2Fe3+ + QH2Sum: NADH + H* + Q–→ NAD* + QH2For each of the three reactions catalyzed by the NADH dehydrogenase complex, identify(a) the electron donor, (b) the electron acceptor, (c) the conjugate redox pair, (d) the reducingagent, and (e) the oxidizing agent.

The first three steps of β oxidation (Fig.) chemically resemble three successive steps of the citric acid cycle. Which steps are these?
36. In the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA, - an acetyl group is transferred to Coenzyme A to produce acetyl CoA. - only one pyruvate molecule loses one carbon atom with the release of carbon dioxide. - the succinate dehydrogenase complex requires four coenzymes. - electrons are transferred to NADH to produce NAD*.
In the complete b-oxidation of stearic acid (18:0) What is the total ATP produced in the citric acid cycle? How many moles of NADH are produced?
Under standard conditions, is the oxidation of ubiquinol (Coenzyme Q) by O2 sufficiently exergonic to drive the synthesis of ATP? If yes, how many ATP can be synthesized assuming 100% efficiency?
What enzymes from the citric acid cycle that are allosterically regulated by ATP and/or NADH? What enzymes from the citric acid cycle that allosterically regulated by NAD+?
Amytal is a barbiturate sedative that inhibits electron flow through Complex I. How would the addition of amytal to actively respiring mitochondria affect the relative oxidation–reduction states of the components of the electrontransport chain and the citric acid cycle?
Why does biological Fe2+ oxidation under oxic conditions occurmainly at acidic pH?
Although molecular oxygen (O2) does not participate directly in any of the reactions of the citric acid cycle, the cycle operates only when O2 is present. Explain this observation.
Ethanol is oxidized in the liver to form acetate, which is then converted to acetyl-CoA. Determine how many molecules of ATP are produced from 1 mol of ethanol. (Note that 2 mol of NADH are produced when ethanol is oxidized to form acetate.)
The four C4 dicarboxylic acid species in the citric acid cycle?
Predict which one of the five steps of the α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex reaction is metabolically irreversible under physiological conditions and explain why.
1) Trypanosomes living in the bloodstream obtain all their energy from glycolysis. They take up glucose from the host’s blood and excrete pyruvate as a waste product. In this part of their life cycle, trypanosomes do not carry out any oxidative phosphorylation, but they do use another oxygen-dependent pathway, which is absent in mammals, to oxidize NADH. a. Why is the oxygen-dependent pathway necessary? b. Would this pathway be necessary if the trypanosome excreted lactate rather than pyruvate? c. Why would the oxygen-dependent pathway be a good target for antiparasitic drugs?
