Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

ATP-ADP translocase use Mg+2 free forms of ADP and ATP.

Concept introduction:

ADP-ATP translocase is also termed as the adenine nucleotide translocase. This carrier protein helps in the translocation of mitochondrial ATP and cytosolic ADP across the inner mitochondrial membrane. ATP is produced by the electron-transport chain occurring in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

ODD MAN OUT. Which of the following is not related to the other choices below? adenylyl cyclase inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) alpha-subunit of heterotrimeric G-proteins sugar receptor
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)?                                                                                                                  What [ATP]/[ADP] ratio will be established at steady-state under these conditions?                                                                                                                                                What would be the [ATP]/[ADP] ratio if the enzyme had only 9 ‘c’ subunits? Remember that full revolution of the crank (gamma subunit) produces 3 ATP.
Less energetic electrons. Why are electrons carried by FADH2FADH2 not as energy rich as those carried by NADH? What is the consequence of this difference?
