Computational modeling of mitochondrial energy transduction.

Mitochondria are the power plant of the heart, burning fat and sugars to supply the muscle with the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) free energy that drives contraction and relaxation during each heart beat. This function was first captured in a mathematical model in 1967. Today, interest in such a model has been rekindled by ongoing in silico integrative physiology efforts such as the Cardiac Phys...

The efficiency and plasticity of mitochondrial energy transduction.

Since it was first realized that biological energy transduction involves oxygen and ATP, opinions about the amount of ATP made per oxygen consumed have continually evolved. The coupling efficiency is crucial because it constrains mechanistic models of the electron-transport chain and ATP synthase, and underpins the physiology and ecology of how organisms prosper in a thermodynamically hostile e...

The effect of chloroform on mitochondrial energy transduction.

The effect of chloroform on mitochondrial respiration with succinate was investigated by applying the method of Brand, Chien and Diolez [(1994) Biochem. J. 297, 27-29] to examine whether chloroform causes redox slip (fewer protons pumped per electron transferred) during mitochondrial electron transport. N,N,N',N'-Tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD), which lowers H+/O (the number of protons pu...

The mitochondrial energy transduction system and the aging process.

Aged mammalian tissues show a decreased capacity to produce ATP by oxidative phosphorylation due to dysfunctional mitochondria. The mitochondrial content of rat brain and liver is not reduced in aging and the impairment of mitochondrial function is due to decreased rates of electron transfer by the selectively diminished activities of complexes I and IV. Inner membrane H(+) impermeability and F...

Physiological performance of warm-adapted marine ectotherms: Thermal limits of mitochondrial energy transduction efficiency.

Thermal regimes in aquatic systems have profound implications for the physiology of ectotherms. In particular, the effect of elevated temperatures on mitochondrial energy transduction in tropical and subtropical teleosts may have profound consequences on organismal performance and population viability. Upper and lower whole-organism critical temperatures for teleosts suggest that subtropical an...
