(A) For the following reaction identify:
i the electron donor
ii the electron acceptor
iii all redox pairs
iv reducing agents
v oxidizing agent
Succinate + FAD+ <--> Fumarate + FADH2
(B) Why could less ATP produced from NADH from glycolysis than NADH from the citric acid cycle?
(C) What role does succinate dehydrogenase play in oxidative phosphorylation?
Succinate + FAD+ <--> Fumarate + FADH2
Q1) In this biochemical reaction succinate gets oxidized to fumarate whereas FAD+ gets reduced to FADH2.
Here
i) electron donor = Succinate
ii) electron acceptor = FAD+
iii) All redox pairs: Succinate/Fumarate, FAD+/FADH2
iv) Reducing agent: Succinate
v) Oxidizing agent: FAD+
Q2) NADH from glycolysis enters the Electron Transport chain at complex II (Succinate dehydrogenase) via Flavoproteins and drive the transport of only 6 protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane. The backflow of 3 protons through the proton channel of ATP synthase drive the synthesis of 1 ATP molecule. hence the cytoplasmic NADH produces 1.5 - 2 ATP molecules. However the mitochondrial NADH joins the ETC at complex I (NADH-dehydrogenase complex) which drive the transport of 10 protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane sufficient to produce 2.5 to 3 ATP molecules.
Q3) Succinate dehydrogenase is the enzyme involved in the oxidation of succinate to Fumarate. The enzyme has FAD+ as the coenzyme which gets reduced to FADH2. FADH2 then reduces the ETC components at complex II (Ubiquinone) and ultimately drives the synthesis of 1.5 -2 ATP molecules/FADH2 molecule. Succinate dehydrogenase provides an electron donor which donates electrons to different ETC components and ultimately to Oxygen for terminal oxidation.
