Interpretation:
The effect of piericidin in oxidative phosphorylation should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Piericidin: It is a medicine which inhibits the microorganism’s growth.
Mitochondria: It is a membrane bound organelle present within the cell cytoplasm of the eukaryotes.
They are also known as power houses of the cell since
Ubiquinone: The coenzyme
Coenzyme: They are non-proteins molecules which helps enzymes for catalyzing the reaction.
Oxidative phosphorylation: The production of

- Based on your knowledge of the structure of NAD+ and an assumption that coenzyme dissociation is the rate limiting step of the alcohol dehydrogenase mechanism, hypothesize why a N249W mutation at the coenzyme binding site would increase the rate of catalysis.arrow_forwardWhich reaction in the citric acid cycle is most analogous to the oxidative decarboxylation of 6- phosphogluconate to ribulose 5-phosphate? What kind of enzymebound intermediate is formed in both reactions?arrow_forwardWhy can pyruvate cross the mitochondrial membrane but no other molecule after step 1 in glycolysis can?arrow_forward
- Although 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_forwardWhat is the effect of dinitrophenol on ATP formation by mitochondria?arrow_forwardSince no molecular oxygen participates in the citric acid cycle, the steps in which acetyl groups are oxidized to CO2 involve removal of hydride ions and hydrogen ions. What is the acceptor of hydride ions? What is the acceptor of hydrogen ions?arrow_forward
- The citric acid cycle itself, which is composed of enzymatically catalyzed steps, can be thought of essentially as a supramolecular enzyme. Explain.arrow_forwardIf 30 molecules of acetyl CoA enter into the mitochondria in the presence of O2, how many molecules of ATP will be formed through oxidative phosphorylation?arrow_forwardWhat is the source of Coenzyme A in mitochondria? Is there any manufacturing of Coenzyme A in the mitochondria or there is a transporter in the mitochondrial membrane?arrow_forward
