Electron Transport Chain – An Overview

Learning resources, Bioenergetics, Library, Theory notes /

An 18-year-old college student is brought to the emergency room unconscious, with a very high serum alcohol level. Alcohol metabolism can result in high NADH levels. When NADH enters the electron transport chain, which of the following is the correct order in which electron transfer occurs? a) NADH, coenzyme Q, cytochrome c, FMN, O2 b)

Impaired electron flow through complex II

Library, Bioenergetics, Learning resources, Theory notes /

A -8-year-old boy is seen by an ophthalmologist for difficulties in seeing in all visual fields as well as slow eye movements. The ophthalmologist finds pigmentary retinopathy and ophthalmoplegia. The child is suspected to have Kearns- Sayre syndrome, a disorder due to a mutation in complex II of ETC. The electron transport from which substance

Electron transport chain inhibition by Rotenone

Learning resources, Bioenergetics, Case studies, Library, Theory notes /

An unskilled worker in a water garden was sent to sweep up a spill of white powder in the storage shed. Later, he was found with labored breathing and convulsions. On further examination, the white powder was identified as rotenone. Respiratory distress is induced by rotenone exposure because it inhibits the complex that catalyzes which

Reduced state of the respiratory chain carriers (Inhibition of electron transport chain)

Learning resources, Bioenergetics, Library, Theory notes /

As electrons are received and passed down the transport chain, the electron carriers are first reduced with the acceptance of the electron and then oxidized with loss of the electron. A patient poisoned by which of the following compounds has the most highly reduced state of most of the respiratory chain carriers? A. Antimycin A

Electrophoresis – A brief review

Library, Biochemical techniques, Learning resources, Theory notes /

Electrophoresis is the movement of charged particles through an electrolyte when subjected to an electric Field- Cations move towards the cathode Anions move towards the anode  By this technique, solutes are separated by their different rates of travel through an electric field. Commonly used in biological analysis, particularly in the separations of proteins, peptides, and nucleic acids  Factors affecting
