- The fatty acid side chains of the phospholipids in the inner mitochondrial membrane exhibit a large proportion of multiple unsaturations. As a result, will the membrane be hydrophobic or hydrophilic? Also will it be more fluid or more rigid? How do these characteristics help explain the observation that the inner membrane is impermeable to ions such as Mg2+ and Cl–? Hint: what moves these ions through the membrane?arrow_forwardThe following plot (percent of O2 bound versus [02]) shows three possible curves (A, B, C). In this case, "B" represents the normal oxygen transport protein. Suppose the local concentration of H+ increases. How might this be represented on the graph? Percent O₂ bound A OA shift from B to C B [0₂] OH+ concentration has no effect (remains curve B) OA shift from B to Aarrow_forwardThe c subunits of the Fo component of mitochondrial ATP synthase form a ion channel through the inner membrane. When any of the essential waste C subunit aspartate reacts with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) the subunit is unable to carry out proton transport. a. How will DCCD affect mitochondrial electron transport? b. What might you expect to happen when a decoupling agent is added (e.g. example dinitrophenol) to mitochondria treated with DCCD? c. How would ATP synthesis be affected in the above cases? Reasons the reply.arrow_forward
- Assuming that 3 H+ are transported per ATP synthesized in the mitochondrial matrix, the membrane potential difference is 0.18V (negative inside), and the pH difference is 2 unit (acid outside, basic inside), calculate the largest ratio of ATP/(ADP)(Pi) under which synthesis of ATP can occur. (gas constant 8.3J/mole, F is 96,485 kJ/V, T in , Co +273)arrow_forwardAlthough the outer mitochondrial membrane is permeable to all small molecules, the inner mitochondrial membrane is essentially impermeable in the absence of specific transport proteins. Consider this information answer: If the inner mitochondrial membrane were rendered as permeable as the outer membrane, how would that affect oxidative phosphorylation? Which specific processes would stop and which remain?arrow_forwardIntramitochondrial ATP concentrations are about 5 mM, and phosphate concentration is about 10 mM. If ADP is five times more abundant than AMP,calculate the molar concentrations of ADP and AMP at an energy charge of 0.85. Calculate ∆G for ATP hydrolysis at 37 °C under these conditions.The energy charge is the concentration of ATP plus half the concentration of ADP divided by the total adenine nucleotide concentration.arrow_forward
- In active muscle cells, the pO₂ is about 10 torr at the cell surface and 1 torr at the mitochondria (the organelles where oxidative metabolism occurs). Calculate the percentage of bound oxygen transported to the mitochondria of muscle cells by myoglobin (KD = 2 torr). A new oxygen transport protein that exhibits cooperative binding has been isolated and is being studied in the lab. Calculate the Ko value if Y = 0.76 when pO₂2 = 18 torr (assume n = 2.5). How does this compare to the K₂ value for hemoglobin? Does this protein bind more or less tightly to oxygen compared to hemoglobin?arrow_forwardIn considering active transport by Na + -K + -ATPase at body temperature (37 o C), 3 Na+ are pumped out of the cell and 2 K + are pumped in for each ATP that is hydrolyzed to ADP + P i . Given that underyour experimental conditions, the DG for ATP hydrolysis is -10 kcal/mol, and that V is -60 mV, and that the pump maintains the internal Na + at 10mM, external Na + at 120 mM, internal K + at 120 mM and external K + at 8mM, what is the efficiency of the pump (i.e., what fraction of the energy available from ATP hydrolysis is required to drive transport at the provided levels)?arrow_forwardIntramitochondrial ATP concentrations are about 5 mM, and phosphate concentration is about 10 mM. Consider that ADP is five times more abundant than AMP. a. Calculate the molar concentrations of ADP and AMP at an energy charge of 0.85. b. Calculate ∆G' for ATP hydrolysis under these conditions (∆G0' for ATP hydrolysis is -32.2 kJ/mol) The energy charge is defined as ( [ATP] + 1/2 [ADP] ) / ( [ATP] + [ADP] + [AMP] )arrow_forward
- The glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle can transport cytosolic NADH equivalents into the mitochondrial matrix (see Fig. 15.11c). In this shuttle, the protons and electrons are donated to FAD, which is reduced to FADH₂. These protons and electrons are subsequently donated to coenzyme Q in the electron transport chain. End of Chapter Problem 86a How much ATP is generated per mole of glucose when the glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle is used? (Tolerance is +/- 2%) ATP are generated per glucose.arrow_forward(A) What is the free energy yield associated with the transport of a proton from the mitochondrial intermembrane space (IMS) to the mitochondrial matrix, assuming that the pH of the IMS is 1.4 units lower than the pH of the matrix? (Hint: Calculate AGO' for the reaction H"IMS > H matris using the relationship AG° = RTInKeg and remembering that pH = -log1o[H*]. Assume that T = 310K (37°C), and R = 8.315x10-3 kJ mol-1 K-1. Show your work and include correct units!)arrow_forwardSphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is important for cell survival. The synthesis of S1P from sphingosine and ATP is catalyzed by the enzyme sphingosine kinase. An understanding of the kinetics of the sphingosine kinase reaction may be important in the development of drugs to treat cancer. The velocity of the sphingosine kinase reaction was measured in the presence and absence of threo-sphingosine, a stereoisomer of sphingosine that inhibits the enzyme. The results are shown below. Construct a Lineweaver–Burk plot to answer the following questions: (a) What are the apparent KM and Vmax values in the presence and absence of the inhibitor? (b) What kind of an inhibitor is threo-sphingosine? Explain.arrow_forward
