Electron Transport Chain: Coenzyme Q Functions

Description

This lecture covers the electron transport chain (ETC) and the role of coenzyme Q in cellular respiration. It explains the flow of electrons through ETC complexes, the proton pumps, and the chemical biology functions of coenzyme Q. The presentation delves into the redox potential changes, the structure and function of ETC complexes I-IV, and the reactions involved in cytochrome C oxidase. Additionally, it discusses the impact of inhibitors like cyanide and carbon monoxide on ETC. The lecture concludes with a practical application related to mitochondria function and the treatment of cyanide poisoning.
