1.) You have isolated mitochondria and are testing various substrates by measuring the oxygen consumption with a special electrode. You add the inhibitor rotenone. What must be the substrate you add? Why?
The substrate will be iron sulphur centre of complex 1. Rotenone is a chemical which blocks the transfer of electrons from iron sulphur centre of complex 1 to ubiquinone/coenzyme Q.
So, if we want to study the effect of rotenone, than the substrate will be iron sulphur centre of complex 1.
Please rate high.

Question 1 (25 points).
The mitochondria from a patient suffering from muscle pain
during physical exercises were analyzed to detect any defect in one
of the components of the respiratory chain. Isolated mitochondria
were incubated in an isotonic buffer, and changes in the oxygen
consumption were measured as various components were sequentially
added to the reaction.
Part 1
The following graph (Fig. 1) shows the changes of oxygen
concentration in a solution containing the patient’s mitochondria
or mitochondria from a...

1. You are studying an in vitro suspension of mitochondria that does not contain any NADH. You run the experiment in a closed system with a set amount of oxygen; no new oxygen is introduced. (15pts) On the graph below, show the effect of adding fixed amounts of the following compounds at various times: • Time 1: ADP + Pi • Time 2: succinate (or any oxidizable substrate) • Time 3: oligomycin, an inhibitor of ATP synthase • Time 4:...
You have isolated a temperature-sensitive mutant that, at the restrictive temperature, has no ability to translocate proteins into mitochondria. So far you have eliminated any of the proteins forming the various transporters (TOM complex, SAM complex, TIM22 complex, TIM23 complex and OXA complex) and the porin proteins as candidates for the mutation. In other words, all the transporter proteins are wild type. What is your hypothesis for a protein that may be responsible for this mutant phenotype.
- I believed the inhibited protein was ATP synthase, however the
data on Figure 2 does not support this. Please help!

PART A- Observe Normal Catalase Reaction To determine the volume of oxygen released in ml) during the degradation of H202 by catalase, you will first do trials using the set-up in Fig. 1. 1. Place 10 ml of the 3% hydrogen peroxide solution into a clean bottle 2. Add quickly catalase containing solution. 3. What gas is being released? 4. Throughout this investigation you will estimate the rate of the reaction (by measuring the volume of water displaced by O2...
You have isolated the Na/K-ATPase in a semi-purified membrane system. Given higher concentrations of Na' out and higher K inside, addition of ATP to the inside leads to increases of Nat olutside and Kt inside as expected. If instead, you add the ATP to the outside of the membrane, you don't see any change in the ion levels. Why? • ATP acts as an irreversible inhibitor of the Na/K-ATPase if it binds on the exterior side. The active site for...

1. A researcher suspects that consumption of some fruit berries found in the amazon basin may have positive or negative effects on hemoglobin function. Can you predict what the effect of eating a significant amount of the berries would be on adult hemoglobin binding and distribution of oxygen if one of the phytochemicals in the berries has been found to be a competitive inhibitor of 2,3-Bisphosphoglycerate (2,3 BPG) (3 points). What do you think would be the effect of the...
