• Food : Food is the source of energy.• Energy : Energy is the capacity to do work.• Bioenergetics : is the quantitative study of

energy transformations that occur within the living cells.

• This follows the laws the thermodynamics.

Page 4: Oxidative phosphorylation for medical school

• Thermodynamics : is a branch of physical sciences that deals with energy changes.

• First Law of Thermodynamics• Stated simply; The total energy of the

universe does not change. This does not mean that

the form of the energy cannot change.

Page 5: Oxidative phosphorylation for medical school

• The internal energy of a system can change only by work or heat exchanges. From this the change in the free energy of a system can be shown by the following equation:

• ΔE = q – w• Where q is the heat absorbed by the system and w is

the work done.

Page 6: Oxidative phosphorylation for medical school

• When q is negative heat has flowed from the system and when q is positive heat has been absorbed by the system.

• Entropy (S): is a measure of the degree of randomness or disorder of a system.

• Enthalpy (H) : is the heat content of a sytem.

Page 7: Oxidative phosphorylation for medical school

• Second Law of Thermodynamics: Entropy• The second law of thermodynamics states that the

universe (i.e. all systems) tend to the greatest degree of randomization.

• For an isothermal reversible reaction the change in entropy can be reduced to the term:

• ΔS = ΔH/T

Page 8: Oxidative phosphorylation for medical school

• ΔS = ΔH/T• In order to effectively evaluate the course

(spontaneity or lack there of) of a reaction and taking into account both the first and second laws of thermodynamics, Josiah Gibbs defined the term, free energy which is defined as:

• ΔG = ΔH – TΔS

Page 9: Oxidative phosphorylation for medical school

• ΔG = ΔH – TΔS• ΔG = change in free energy.• ΔH = change in enthalpy or heat content of

the system.• ΔS = change in entropy.• T = absolute temperature.

Page 10: Oxidative phosphorylation for medical school

• Useful energy is the form of energy that is capable of performing work.- two major types:- (1) Heat energy- (2) Free energy

Page 11: Oxidative phosphorylation for medical school

• (1) Heat energy, which is capable of performing work through change of temperature.

• (2) Free energy which is capable of performing work at constant temperature.

• ΔG = ΔH – TΔS

Page 12: Oxidative phosphorylation for medical school

• ΔG = ΔH – TΔS• Reactions with negative ΔG values are termed

exergonic and those with positive ΔG values endergonic.

• However, when a system is at equilibrium:ΔG = 0

Page 13: Oxidative phosphorylation for medical school

• Exergonic reaction :• ATP + H2O → ADP + Pi: ΔGo' = –7.3 kcal/mol

• Endergonic reaction :• ADP + Pi → ATP : ΔGo' = +7.3 kcal/mol

Page 14: Oxidative phosphorylation for medical school

• ΔG = ΔH – TΔS• Exothermic reaction = ΔH negative• Endothermic reaction = ΔH is positive• Iso-thermic reaction = ΔH is zero

Page 15: Oxidative phosphorylation for medical school

• Standard free energy change (ΔGo’)• It is the free energy change under standard

conditions.• The standard conditions are as below:

Temperature of 250C (2980K), Pressure of 1.0 atm (760 mm Hg) pH of 7.0, Reactants and products are all present in their standard concentrations namely 1.0M.

Support for this order of events

1. Energetically favorable. electrons pass from lower to higher standard reduction potentials.2. Spectra: the absorption spectrum for the reduced carrier differs from that of its oxidized form. carriers closer to oxygen are more oxidized.

3. Specific inhibitors. Those before the blocked step should be reduced and those after be oxidized.

4. Assay of individual complexes.NADH can reduce complex I but not the other complexes.

The chemiosmotic hypothesis

Electron transport through the respiratory chain leads to pumpingof protons from the matrix to the cytosolic side of the inner mitochondrial membrane.The pH gradient and membrane potential constitute a proton-motive force that is used to drive ATP synthesis.

pH outside is 1.4 unitslower than inside

Membrane potential is0.14V = G of 5.2 kcalper mole of protons

ATP Synthase F1 Complex

In the F1 complex of ATP synthase:• A center subunit () is surrounded by three

protein subunits: loose (L), tight (T), and open (O).

• Energy from the proton flow through F0 turns the center subunit (), which changes the shape (conformation) of the three subunits.

Page 109: Oxidative phosphorylation for medical school

109

ATP Synthesis in F1

During ATP synthesis:• ADP and Pi enter the loose L site.• The center subunit turns changing the L site to a

tight T conformation.• ATP is formed in the T site where it remains

strongly bound.• The center subunit turns changing the T site to

an open O site, which releases the ATP.

There are three nucleotide-binding catalytic sites, located at interfaces but predominantly involving residues of the subunits.

Each subunit contains a tightly bound ATP, but is inactive in catalysis.

Mg++ binds with the adenine nucleotides in both & subunits.

section

Page 113: Oxidative phosphorylation for medical school

The binding change mechanism of energy coupling was proposed by Paul Boyer.

He shared the Nobel prize for this model that accounts for the existence of 3 catalytic sites in F1.

For simplicity, only the catalytic subunits are shown. It is proposed that an irregularly shaped shaft linked

to Fo rotates relative to the ring of 3 subunits.

The rotation is driven by flow of H+ through Fo.

Binding Change Mechanism

The conformation of each subunit changes sequentially as it interacts with the rotating shaft. Each subunit is in a different stage of the catalytic cycle at any time. E.g, the green subunit sequentially changes to: a loose conformation in which the active site can

loosely bind ADP + Pi

a tight conformation in which substrates are tightly bound and ATP is formed an open conformation that favors ATP release. 

Page 115: Oxidative phosphorylation for medical school

Bound to one subunit is a non-hydrolyzable ATP analog (assumed to be the tight conformation).

Bound to another subunit is ADP (loose). The third subunit has an empty active site (open).

This is consistent with the binding change model, whichpredicts that each subunit, being differently affected bythe irregularly shaped rotating shaft, will be in a different stage of the catalytic cycle.

Additional data are consistent with an intermediate conformation between each of the 3 states shown. This intermediate conformation may have nucleotide bound at all 3 sites. By one model, in the left image above:ATP synthesis (on green subunit) is associated with transition to an intermediate conformation that allows binding of ADP + Pi to the previously empty site (magenta).A further conformational change then occurs as ATP formed in the previous step is released (from cyan subunit).

ATP produced in the mitochondrial matrix must exit to the cytosol to be used by transport pumps, kinases, etc.

ADP & Pi arising from ATP hydrolysis in the cytosol must reenter the matrix to be converted again to ATP.

Two carrier proteins in the inner mitochondrial membrane are required.

The outer membrane is considered not a permeability barrier. Large outer membrane VDAC channels are assumed to allow passage of adenine nucleotides and Pi.

Page 122: Oxidative phosphorylation for medical school

Adenine nucleotide translocase (ADP/ATP carrier) is an antiporter that catalyzes exchange of ADP for ATP across the inner mitochondrial membrane. At cell pH, ATP has 4 () charges, ADP 3 () charges. ADP3/ATP4 exchange is driven by, and uses up, membrane potential (one charge per ATP).

Phosphate re-enters the matrix with H+ by an electroneutral symport mechanism. Pi entry is driven by, & uses up, the pH gradient (equivalent to one mol H+ per mol ATP).Thus the equivalent of one mol H+ enters the matrix with ADP/ATP exchange & Pi uptake. Assuming 3H+ transported by F1Fo, 4H+ total enter the matrix per ATP synthesized.

Regulation of Electron Transport

In the electron transport system:• Low levels of ADP, Pi, oxygen, and NADH

decrease electron transport activity.• High levels of ADP activate electron

transport.

ATP Energy from Glucose

• The complete oxidation of glucose yields 6CO2, 6H2O, and 36 ATP.

Page 132: Oxidative phosphorylation for medical school

132

In glycolysis: • Glucose forms 2 pyruvate, 2 ATP and 2NADH. • NADH produced in the cytoplasm cannot enter the

mitochondria. • A shuttle compound (glycerol-3-phosphate) moves

hydrogen and electrons into the mitochondria to FAD, which forms FADH2.

• Each FADH2 provides 2 ATP.

Substrate level phosphorylation

• The energy from a high energy compound is directly transferred to nucleotide di-phosphate to form a tri-phosphate without the help of electron transport chain (ETC).

• Example :- Bisphospho gylcerate kinase- Pyruvate kinase- Succinate thiokinase
