An electron transport chain (ETC) is a series of protein complexes and other molecules that transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors via redox reactions (both reduction and oxidation occurring simultaneously) and couples this electron transfer with the transfer of protons (H+ ions) across a membrane. The electrons that are transferred from NADH and FADH2 to the ETC involves four multi-subunit large enzymes complexes and two mobile electron carriers. Many of the enzymes in the electron transport chain are embedded within the membrane.
In an electron transport chain, the redox reactions are driven by the difference in the Gibbs free energy of reactants and products. The free energy released when a higher-energy electron donor and acceptor convert to lower-energy products, while electrons are transferred from a lower to a higher redox potential, is used by the complexes in the electron transport chain to create an electrochemical gradient of ions. It is this electrochemical gradient that drives the synthesis of ATP via coupling with oxidative phosphorylation with ATP synthase.

Electron Transport Chain and oxidative phosphorylation @meetpadhiyarmeetpadhiyar88
A story of electron transport to the ATP synthase complex by 4 complexes and oxidative phosphorylation.
Present at College of basic science and Humanities, Dantiwada.
Pentose phosphate pathway is an alternative pathway to glycolysis and TCA cycle for oxidation of glucose. It is a shunt of glycolysis. It is also known as hexose monophosphate (HMP) shunt or phosphogluconate pathway. It occurs in cytoplasm of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. While it involves oxidation of glucose, its primary role is anabolic rather than catabolic. It is an important pathway that generates precursors for nucleotide synthesis and is especially important in red blood cells (erythrocytes).
The malate-aspartate shuttle system is important in transporting NADH, produced during glycolysis in the cytosol into the mitochondria. NADH is required in the TCA cycle and further in the production of ATP, the energy currency of the cell.

The electron transport chain is comprised of a series of enzymatic reactions within the inner membrane of the mitochondria, which are cell organelles that release and store energy for all physiological needs.
As electrons are passed through the chain by a series of oxidation-reduction reactions, energy is released, creating a gradient of hydrogen ions, or protons, across the membrane. The proton gradient provides energy to make ATP, which is used in oxidative phosphorylation.
The ETC is a collection of proteins bound to the inner mitochondrial membrane and organic molecules, which electrons pass through in a series of redox reactions, and release energy. The energy released forms a proton gradient, which is used in chemiosmosis to make a large amount of ATP by the protein ATP-synthase.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.

2. In eukaryotes => Electron transport and oxidative
phosphorylation => inner mitochondrial membrane.
These processes => re-oxidize NADH and FADH2 <=
from the citric acid cycle (mitochondrial matrix ),
glycolysis (cytoplasm ) and fatty acid oxidation (
mitochondrial matrix) and => trap the energy released
as ATP.
Oxidative phosphorylation => major source of ATP in
the cell.
In prokaryotes => electron transport and oxidative
phosphorylation components => in the plasma
membrane.
3. Oxidation => loss of electrons.
Reduction => gain of electrons.
In chemical reaction :
if one molecule is oxidized => another must
be reduced
i.e. oxidation-reduction reaction => transfer of
electrons.
4. when NADH => oxidized to NAD+ => it
loses electrons.
When molecular oxygen => reduced to water
=> it gains electrons :
5. ATP is the energy currency of the cell and is used to
power a variety of cellular reactions
Biosynthesis of macromolecules
(e.g. polymer assembly )
Emission of light (e.g.
bioluminescence
Movement (e.g. muscle
contraction)
Active transport (e.g.
endocytosis / exocytosis)
Nerve transmission (e.g.
propagation of action potentials)
Growth and repair (e.g. mitotic
division)

6.
7. Step 1: Generating a Proton Motive Force
The hydrogen carriers (NADH and FADH2) are oxidised and release high
energy electrons and protons
The electrons are transferred to the electron transport chain, which
consists of several transmembrane carrier proteins
As electrons pass through the chain, they lose energy – which is used
by the chain to pump protons (H+ ions) from the matrix
The accumulation of H+ ions within the intermembrane space creates
an electrochemical gradient (or a proton motive force)
8. Step Two: ATP Synthesis
The proton motive force will cause H+ ions to move down
their electrochemical gradient and diffuse back into matrix.
This diffusion of protons is called chemiosmosis and is
facilitated by the transmembrane enzyme ATP synthase
As the H+ ions move through ATP synthase they trigger the
molecular rotation of the enzyme, synthesising ATP
9. Step Three: Reduction of Oxygen
In order for the electron transport chain to continue
functioning, the de-energised electrons must be removed
Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor, removing the de-
energised electrons to prevent the chain from becoming
blocked
Oxygen also binds with free protons in the matrix to form
water – removing matrix protons maintains the hydrogen
gradient
In the absence of oxygen, hydrogen carriers cannot transfer
energised electrons to the chain and ATP production is halted
10. The electron

11. Complex 1- NADH-Q oxidoreductase: It
comprises enzymes consisting of iron-sulfur and
FMN. Here two electrons are carried out to the
first complex aboard NADH. FMN is derived from
vitamin B2.
12. • Q and Complex 2- Succinate-Q reductase: FADH2
that is not passed through complex 1 is received
directly from complex 2. The first and the second
complexes are connected to a third complex
through compound ubiquinone (Q). The Q
molecule is soluble in water and moves freely in
the hydrophobic core of the membrane. In this
phase, an electron is delivered directly to the
electron protein chain. The number of ATP
obtained at this stage is directly proportional to
the number of protons that are pumped across
the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
13. • Complex 3- Cytochrome c reductase: The
third complex is comprised of Fe-S protein,
Cytochrome b, and Cytochrome c proteins.
Cytochrome proteins consist of the heme
group. Complex 3 is responsible for pumping
protons across the membrane. It also passes
electrons to the cytochrome c where it is
transported to the 4th complex of enzymes
and proteins. Here, Q is the electron donor
and Cytochrome C is the electron acceptor.
14. • Complex 4- Cytochrome c oxidase: The 4th
complex is comprised of cytochrome c, a and
a3. There are two heme groups where each of
them is present in cytochromes c and a3. The
cytochromes are responsible for holding
oxygen molecule between copper and iron
until the oxygen content is reduced
completely. In this phase, the reduced oxygen
picks two hydrogen ions from the surrounding
environment to make water.
15. Summary
Hydrogen carriers donate high energy electrons to the electron transport
chain (located on the cristae)
As the electrons move through the chain they lose energy, which is
transferred to the electron carriers within the chain
The electron carriers use this energy to pump hydrogen ions from the
matrix and into the intermembrane space
The accumulation of H+ ions in the intermembrane space creates an
electrochemical gradient (or a proton motive force)
H+ ions return to the matrix via the transmembrane enzyme ATP synthase
(this diffusion of ions is called chemiosmosis)
As the ions pass through ATP synthase they trigger a phosphorylation
reaction which produces ATP (from ADP + Pi)
The de-energised electrons are removed from the chain by oxygen,
allowing new high energy electrons to enter the chain
Oxygen also binds matrix protons to form water – this maintains the
hydrogen gradient by removing H+ ions from the matrix
