Energy Capture in Respiratory Chain| Biologic Oxidation

In this article we will discuss about the Energy Capture in Respiratory Chain in Mitochondria. 1. When substrates are oxidized through an NAD-linked dehydrogenase, 3 mol inor­ganic phosphate are incorporated into 3 mol of ADP to form 3 mol of ATP per half mol of O2 (1/2 O2) consumed, i.e. the P; O ratio = 3. 2. When a substrate [...]

Notes on Respiratory Chain (With Diagram)

Electron Transport System or Respiratory Chain: The hydrogen and electron transport system comprise many hydrogen and electron acceptors (Fig. 17-6). In fact oxidation reduction reactions in a biological system involve hydrogen and electron acceptors. Both hydrogen and electrons are passed from one acceptor to another. Thus, there are intermediate and final hydrogen acceptors. The final hydrogen acceptor is molecular oxygen. [...]
