Question
Chapter 18, Problem 20P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The effect of Amytal on electron-transport chain and citric cycle.
Concept introduction:
Amytal, also termed as amylobarbitone, is a barbiturate derivative. It has hypnotic and sedative properties. It is a white crystalline powder that has a bitter taste and has no odor. Generally, it is a brief treatment for insomnia. It is basically a central nervous system depressant.

Oxidative Phosphorylation (Ch. 19)
1. The NADH dehydrogenase complex of the mitochondrial respiratory chain promotes the
following series of oxidation-reduction reactions, in which Fe* and Fe2* represent the iron in
iron-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+ + QH2
Sum: NADH + H* + Q–→ NAD* + QH2
For 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 reducing
agent, and (e) the oxidizing agent.

- Fo-F1 ATPase. The energy for ATP synthesis from ADP and Pi is provided by the downhill transport of protons through the rotary FoF1 ATP synthase (lecture 22). The enzyme has 3 a-b and 12 ‘c’ subunits. The mitochondrion maintains Df=180 mV (negative inside), pHin = 8, pHout=7, [Pi] = 3 mM and ADP is present as well. How much energy is available (from the proton electrochemical gradient) for ATP synthesis under these conditions (in kJ/mol)?
