• Food : Food is the source of energy.• Energy : Energy is the capacity to do work.• Bioenergetics : is the quantitative study of
energy transformations that occur within the living cells.
• This follows the laws the thermodynamics.
• Thermodynamics : is a branch of physical sciences that deals with energy changes.
• First Law of Thermodynamics• Stated simply; The total energy of the
universe does not change. This does not mean that
the form of the energy cannot change.
• The internal energy of a system can change only by work or heat exchanges. From this the change in the free energy of a system can be shown by the following equation:
• ΔE = q – w• Where q is the heat absorbed by the system and w is
the work done.
• When q is negative heat has flowed from the system and when q is positive heat has been absorbed by the system.
• Entropy (S): is a measure of the degree of randomness or disorder of a system.
• Enthalpy (H) : is the heat content of a sytem.
• Second Law of Thermodynamics: Entropy• The second law of thermodynamics states that the
universe (i.e. all systems) tend to the greatest degree of randomization.
• For an isothermal reversible reaction the change in entropy can be reduced to the term:
• ΔS = ΔH/T
• ΔS = ΔH/T• In order to effectively evaluate the course
(spontaneity or lack there of) of a reaction and taking into account both the first and second laws of thermodynamics, Josiah Gibbs defined the term, free energy which is defined as:
• ΔG = ΔH – TΔS
• ΔG = ΔH – TΔS• ΔG = change in free energy.• ΔH = change in enthalpy or heat content of
the system.• ΔS = change in entropy.• T = absolute temperature.
• Useful energy is the form of energy that is capable of performing work.- two major types:- (1) Heat energy- (2) Free energy
• (1) Heat energy, which is capable of performing work through change of temperature.
• (2) Free energy which is capable of performing work at constant temperature.
• ΔG = ΔH – TΔS
• ΔG = ΔH – TΔS• Reactions with negative ΔG values are termed
exergonic and those with positive ΔG values endergonic.
• However, when a system is at equilibrium:ΔG = 0
• Exergonic reaction :• ATP + H2O → ADP + Pi: ΔGo' = –7.3 kcal/mol
• Endergonic reaction :• ADP + Pi → ATP : ΔGo' = +7.3 kcal/mol
• ΔG = ΔH – TΔS• Exothermic reaction = ΔH negative• Endothermic reaction = ΔH is positive• Iso-thermic reaction = ΔH is zero
• Standard free energy change (ΔGo’)• It is the free energy change under standard
conditions.• The standard conditions are as below:
Temperature of 250C (2980K), Pressure of 1.0 atm (760 mm Hg) pH of 7.0, Reactants and products are all present in their standard concentrations namely 1.0M.

Support for this order of events
1. Energetically favorable. electrons pass from lower to higher standard reduction potentials.2. Spectra: the absorption spectrum for the reduced carrier differs from that of its oxidized form. carriers closer to oxygen are more oxidized.
3. Specific inhibitors. Those before the blocked step should be reduced and those after be oxidized.
4. Assay of individual complexes.NADH can reduce complex I but not the other complexes.

The chemiosmotic hypothesis
Electron transport through the respiratory chain leads to pumpingof protons from the matrix to the cytosolic side of the inner mitochondrial membrane.The pH gradient and membrane potential constitute a proton-motive force that is used to drive ATP synthesis.
pH outside is 1.4 unitslower than inside
Membrane potential is0.14V = G of 5.2 kcalper mole of protons

The mechanism of H+ transport in Complex III is Q cycle.

ATP synthase is composed of 3 fragments: F0, which is localized in the membrane; F1, which protrudes from the inside of the inner membrane into the matrix; and oligomycin sensitivity-conferring protein (OSCP), which connects F0 to F1.

Exterior columnhas 1 a subunit2 b subunits, &the subunit
Moving unit (rotor) is c ring & Remainder is stationary (stator)
91
ATP Synthase
In ATP synthase:• Protons flow back to
the matrix through a channel in the F0 complex.
• Proton flow provides the energy that drives ATP synthesis by the F1 complex.
108
ATP Synthase F1 Complex
In the F1 complex of ATP synthase:• A center subunit () is surrounded by three
protein subunits: loose (L), tight (T), and open (O).
• Energy from the proton flow through F0 turns the center subunit (), which changes the shape (conformation) of the three subunits.
109
ATP Synthesis in F1
During ATP synthesis:• ADP and Pi enter the loose L site.• The center subunit turns changing the L site to a
tight T conformation.• ATP is formed in the T site where it remains
strongly bound.• The center subunit turns changing the T site to
an open O site, which releases the ATP.
There are three nucleotide-binding catalytic sites, located at interfaces but predominantly involving residues of the subunits.
Each subunit contains a tightly bound ATP, but is inactive in catalysis.
Mg++ binds with the adenine nucleotides in both & subunits.
F1 in cross
section
The binding change mechanism of energy coupling was proposed by Paul Boyer.
He shared the Nobel prize for this model that accounts for the existence of 3 catalytic sites in F1.
For simplicity, only the catalytic subunits are shown. It is proposed that an irregularly shaped shaft linked
to Fo rotates relative to the ring of 3 subunits.
The rotation is driven by flow of H+ through Fo.

Binding Change Mechanism
The conformation of each subunit changes sequentially as it interacts with the rotating shaft. Each subunit is in a different stage of the catalytic cycle at any time. E.g, the green subunit sequentially changes to: a loose conformation in which the active site can
loosely bind ADP + Pi
a tight conformation in which substrates are tightly bound and ATP is formed an open conformation that favors ATP release.
Bound to one subunit is a non-hydrolyzable ATP analog (assumed to be the tight conformation).
Bound to another subunit is ADP (loose). The third subunit has an empty active site (open).
This is consistent with the binding change model, whichpredicts that each subunit, being differently affected bythe irregularly shaped rotating shaft, will be in a different stage of the catalytic cycle.

Additional data are consistent with an intermediate conformation between each of the 3 states shown. This intermediate conformation may have nucleotide bound at all 3 sites. By one model, in the left image above:ATP synthesis (on green subunit) is associated with transition to an intermediate conformation that allows binding of ADP + Pi to the previously empty site (magenta).A further conformational change then occurs as ATP formed in the previous step is released (from cyan subunit).

P :O RATIO
• The P:O ratio is defined as the number of inorganic phosphate molecules incorporated into ATP for every atom of oxygen consumed.
• P:O ratio = NADH = 3• P:O ratio = FADH2 = 2
Transport of ATP, ADP, & Pi
ATP produced in the mitochondrial matrix must exit to the cytosol to be used by transport pumps, kinases, etc.
ADP & Pi arising from ATP hydrolysis in the cytosol must reenter the matrix to be converted again to ATP.
Two carrier proteins in the inner mitochondrial membrane are required.
The outer membrane is considered not a permeability barrier. Large outer membrane VDAC channels are assumed to allow passage of adenine nucleotides and Pi.
Adenine nucleotide translocase (ADP/ATP carrier) is an antiporter that catalyzes exchange of ADP for ATP across the inner mitochondrial membrane. At cell pH, ATP has 4 () charges, ADP 3 () charges. ADP3/ATP4 exchange is driven by, and uses up, membrane potential (one charge per ATP).

mitochondria. • A shuttle compound (glycerol-3-phosphate) moves
hydrogen and electrons into the mitochondria to FAD, which forms FADH2.
