1. As has been discussed in class the electron transport chain is the first part of oxidative phosphorylation. This chain of multi-subunit enzymes is responsible for facilitating the transfer of electrons from NADH and succinate/FADH₂ to oxygen making water. Given this understanding answer the following questions. a. Below is an equation for determining the amount of energy required to move 1 mol of protons across the inner membrane of the mitochondria. In actively respiring mitochondria the A = +/-0.15 volts to +/- 0.20 volts. The ApH for a typically mitochondria will be 0.75 pH units, with the matrix (N-side) being more alkaline than the IMS (P-side). Given this state the total energy needed to move a single proton from the N to the P-side. Assume T = 310K and R = 8.314 J mol-¹ K-¹ and a A4 = 0.17 volts. Finally, assume F = 96.5 kJ/mol/volt AG = 2.3RTAPH + FA b. How much free energy is available in the transfer of electrons from NADH to oxygen given the following half-reactions and free energy equation. Assume F = 96.5 kJ/mol/volt. AG¹° = -nFAE¹0 ΔΕΙΟΞΕΙΟ (electron acceptor) - E'o (electron donor) ½2 O₂ + 2H+ + 2e →→ H₂O E'o = 0.816 volts NAD+ + 2H+ + 2e → NADH + H+ E' = -0.320 volts C. How much free energy is available in the transfer of electrons from FADH₂ to oxygen given the following half-reactions and free energy equation. Assume F = 96.5 kJ/mol/volt.
