Electron Transport Chain
Four Complexes
Complex I : catalyze electron transfer from
NADH to ubiquinone
Complex II catalyze electron transfer from
succinate to ubiquinone
Complex III carries electrons from reduced
ubiquinone (QH2) to cytochrome c.
Complex IV completes the sequence by
transferring electrons from cytochrome c to
oxygen.
– Electrons ultimately reduce oxygen to water

Potent inhibitors of ATP synthase
After entering the matrix in the protonated form,
it can release a proton, thus dissipating the
proton gradient..

Cytosolic NADH
• Glycerol-phosphate shuttle:
Transfers electrons from cytosolic NADH to FAD to produce FADH2
• Malate-Aspartate shuttle:
Transfers electrons from cytosolic NADH to NAD+ to produce NADH
