QUESTION 2 What is the main mechanism of action for oxidative phosphorylation? A Uses the free energy of the proton gradient generated as a result of transferring electrons from NADH OF FADH2 to O2 by a series of electron carriers for ATP production B. Uses the net yield of ATP produced by Glycolysis and the Citric Acid Cycle to produce more ATP. Uses the free energy released during redox reactions in Complexes I-IV (the electron transport chain) and is uncoupled...
Inhibitors of Oxidative Phosphorylation The following chemicals inhibit oxidative phosphorylation: Cyanide: Cyanide is a naturally occurring compound that binds to protein complex IV of the mitochondrial electron transport chain and prevents transfer of electrons from the protein. Metformin: At the cellular level, chemically synthesized metformin, a drug commonly prescribed for Type 2 diabetes, inhibits mitochondrial respiration by blocking complex I. Dinitrophenol: Dinitrophenol is a metabolic poison that can be sold legally as a pesticide. Although it is lethal to humans,...
