Mitochondrial Membrane: Anatomy and Functions | Biologic Oxidation

In this article we will discuss about the Anatomy and Functions of Mitochondrial Membrane. Anatomy of Mitochondrial Membrane: 1. The outer membrane of mitochondria is permeable to most metabolites, but the inner membrane is selectively permeable. 2. The inner membrane has a matrix and the inner membrane is thrown into folds or cristae. 3. The presence of monoamine oxidase and [...]

Chemiosmotic Theory of Mitochondrial Membrane | Biologic Oxidation

In this article we will discuss about the Chemiosmotic Theory of Mitochondrial Membrane. It is explained that the primary event in oxidative phosphorylation is the translocation of protons (H+) to the exterior of a coupling mem­brane driven by oxidation in the respiratory chain. The membrane is impermeable to protons which accumulate outside the membrane creating an electrochemical potential difference across [...]
