Cells maintain different steady state ratios of NAD+/NADH (1000) and NADP+/NADPH (0.01).
(a) How do these ratios relate to the metabolic functions of NAD+ and NADPH?
(b) Given these physiological ratios, what is the AG for NAD+ to oxidize NADPH?
(c) This reaction does not happen in most tissues. Make a hypothesis: what prevents this from
occuring?

- The muscle enzyme lactate dehydrogenase catalyzes the reaction NADH and NAD+ are the reduced and oxidized forms, respectively, of the coenzyme NAD. Solutions of NADH, but not NAD+, absorb light at 340 nm. This property is used to determine the concentration of NADH in solution by measuring spectrophotometrically the amount of light absorbed at 340 nm by the solution. Explain how these properties of NADH can be used to design a quantitative assay for lactate dehydrogenase.arrow_forwardA new ATP-producing protein is discovered that couples ATP production to the oxidation of NADPH by oxidative phosphorylation. Assume that the value of ΔGo for ATP synthesis is 30 kJ•mol−1. If this protein only produces 1 molecule of ATP per reaction that consumes one NADPH: a. How much free energy is wasted, under standard conditions?b. How many more ATP molecules could be created by a perfectly efficient electron transport chain from one NADPH?arrow_forwardWhat do you think would be the effect on oxidative phosphorylation of the following mutations of F1 or F0 ATPase subunits?

- Interested in studying ethanol fermentation, you prepare two solutions of yeast extract that contains the cytosolic contents of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. You add glucose to both extracts at time zero, but to one (in red) you also add inorganic phosphate (added in two batches). Using a gas sensor, you monitor the CO2 generated by the two solutions over time and obtain the following data: a. Why is more CO2 generated upon the addition of phosphate? b. You become worried that the flasks would burst open to the build up in gas pressure. What other molecules could you add to the extract to slow down CO2 generation even in the presence of glucose and Pi?arrow_forwarda.Write the balanced reactions catalyzed by complex I, II, III, and 1V, and using these, write the balanced net reaction for the electron transport chain. Structures are not necessary. b. Write the balanced reaction for the ATP synthase reaction. c. Write the net reaction for Oxidative phosphorylation showing the ATP produced from NADH oxidation and FADH2 oxidation. (this is in your text) d. Write the balanced reaction for ATP production by aerobic metabolism starting with glucose.arrow_forwardDuring cellular respiration, approximately 34 ATP are produced from one molecule of glucose. a. How Many ATP are made during glycolysis? b. How many ATP/GTP are made during the Citric Acid Cycle? c. How many are made during oxidative phosphorylation? d. If you recall electrons from FADH2 pump less proton than electrons from NADH, This is because Complex II does not pump electrons. Because of this FADH2 leads to the production of less ATP, 1 FADH2 produces about 1.5 ATPs Given this value how many ATP are NADH electrons worth?

Why does the oxidation of mitochondrial FADH2 generate one less ATP than oxidation of mitochondrial NADH? b) If 12 H+ are moved across the inner mitochondrial membrane by NADH oxidation, and each ATP synthesized requires 3 H+ to move through ATP synthase, why are only 3 ATP molecules produced by oxidation of each NADH?arrow_forwardDiscuss the relationship between redox potentials E0’ and the organization of the components of the electron transport chain. Be specific, i.e., use data/actual values to back up your discussion. a) What are the values of E0’ for all the components of the ETS? b)How are the E0’ related to ∆G values? c) How do the values of E0’ vary among the participants in the ETS relative to their position in the ETS?arrow_forward
