Coupling of dehydrogenation and hydrogenation reactions by an intermediate carrier. (graph,pg9)
An alternative method of coupling an exergonic to an endergonic process is to synthesize a compound of high-energy potential in the exergonic reaction and to incorporate this new compound into the endergonic reaction, thus effecting a transference of free energy from the exergonic to the endergonic pathway. The biologic advantage of this mechanism is that the compound of high potential energy, ~Ⓔ, unlike I in the previous system, need not be structurally related to A, B, C, or D, allowing Ⓔ to serve as a transducer of energy from a wide range of exergonic reactions to an equally wide range of endergonic reactions or processes, such as biosyntheses, muscular contraction, nervous excitation, and active transport.

IV Reduced cytochrome c is oxidized by Complex IV (cytochrome c oxidase), with the concomitant reduction of O2 to two molecules of water. Electrons are passed initially to a Cu center (CuA), which contains 2Cu atoms linked to two protein cysteine-SH groups (resembling an Fe-S), then in sequence to heme a, heme a3, a second Cu center, CuB, which is linked to heme a3, and finally to O2. Of the eight H+ removed from the matrix, four are used to form two water molecules and four are pumped into the intermembrane space. Thus, for every pair of electrons passing down the chain from NADH or FADH2, 2H+ are pumped across the membrane by Complex IV. The O2 remains tightly bound to Complex IV until it is fully reduced, and this minimizes the release of potentially damaging intermediates such as superoxide anions or peroxide which are formed when O2 accepts one or two electrons,

Mechanism of ATP production by ATP synthase.
The enzyme complex consists of an F0subcomplex which is a disk of "C" protein subunits. Attached is a γ subunit in the form of a "bent axle." Protons passing through the disk of "C" units cause it and the attached γ subunit to rotate. The γ subunit fits inside the F1 subcomplex of three α and three β subunits, which are fixed to the membrane and do not rotate. ADP and Pi are taken up sequentially by the β subunits to form ATP, which is expelled as the rotating γ subunit squeezes each β subunit in turn and changes its conformation. Thus, three ATP molecules are generated per revolution. For clarity, not all the subunits that have been identified are shown—eg, the "axle" also contains an ε subunit.

Respiratory Control Ensures a Constant Supply of ATP
The rate of respiration of mitochondria can be controlled by the availability of ADP. This is because oxidation and phosphorylation are tightly coupled; that is, oxidation cannot proceed via the respiratory chain without concomitant phosphorylation of ADP. Table 13-1shows the five conditions controlling the rate of respiration in mitochondria. Most cells in the resting state are in state 4, and respiration is controlled by the availability of ADP. When work is performed, ATP is converted to ADP, allowing more respiration to occur, which in turn replenishes the store of ATP. Under certain conditions, the concentration of inorganic phosphate can also affect the rate of functioning of the respiratory chain. As respiration increases (as in exercise), the cell approaches state 3 or 5 when either the capacity of the respiratory chain becomes saturated or the PO2 decreases below the Km for heme a3. There is also the possibility that the ADP/ATP transporter, which facilitates entry of cytosolic ADP into and ATP out of the mitochondrion, becomes rate limiting.

ΔG0′
what is the equation that combines the two laws of thermodynamics: at constant temperature and pressure.
ΔG= ΔH-TΔS where ΔH is the change in enthalpy (heat) and T is the absolute temperature.

ΔGo'= -RT ln Keq' R is the gas constant T is the absolute temperature
Oxygenases catalyze the incorporation of oxygen into a substrate molecule in two steps:
•(1) oxygen is bound to the enzyme at the active site •(2) the bound oxygen is reduced or transferred to the substrate.
P450 enzymes include:
•Biosynthesis of steroid hormones from cholesterol (hydroxylation at C22 and C20 in side-chain cleavage and at the 11β and 18 positions). •Renal 1α- and 24-hydroxylations of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol in vitamin D metabolism— •Cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase and sterol 27-hydroxylase i in bile acid biosynthesis in the liver.
DEHYDROGENASES: They perform the what two main functions:
•Transfer of hydrogen from one substrate to another in a coupled oxidation-reduction reaction •These dehydrogenases are specific for their substrates utilize NAD+ or FAD+. (Figure 12-3). •are reversible, enable reducing equivalents to be freely transferred within the cell. •enables one substrate to be oxidized at the expense of another •enabling oxidative processes to occur in the absence of oxygen, (anaerobic phase of glycolysis) Transfer of electrons in the respiratory chain of electron transport from substrate to oxygen (see Figure 13-3.
Mitochondrial cytochrome P450 systems are found in steroidogenic tissues:
•adrenal cortex, •testis •ovary •placenta
Cytochrome oxidase
•terminal component of the respiratory chain of mitochondria •transfers electrons to oxygen. •blocked by carbon monoxide, cyanide, and hydrogen sulfide. •It has also been termed "cytochrome a3." •contains two molecules of heme, two Fe (Fe3+ and Fe2+ during oxidation and reduction). •two atoms of Cu are present, each associated with a heme unit. ∗The term "oxidase" is sometimes used collectively to denote all enzymes that catalyze reactions involving molecular oxygen.
The endoplasmic reticulum membranes contain the enzyme system for
•triacylglycerol synthesis
Transporter systems in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
➀ Phosphate transporter, ➁ pyruvate symport, ➂ dicarboxylate transporter, ➃ tricarboxylate transporter, ➄ α-ketoglutarate transporter, ➅ adenine nucleotide transporter. N-Ethylmaleimide, hydroxycinnamate, and atractyloside inhibit ( ) the indicated systems. Also present (but not shown) are transporter systems for glutamate/aspartate (Figure 13-13), glutamine, ornithine, neutral amino acids, and carnitine
Mechanisms of control of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction.
➀ alteration of membrane permeability; ➁ conversion of an inactive to an active enzyme, usually involving phosphorylation/dephosphorylation reactions; ➂ alteration of the rate translation of mRNA at the ribosomal level; ➃ induction of new mRNA formation; and ➄ repression of mRNA formation. ➀ and ➁ are rapid, whereas ➂, ➃, and ➄ are slower mechanisms of regulation
