Kinetics of electron transfer through the respiratory chain.
We show that the rate at which electrons pass through the respiratory chain in mitochondria and respiring prokaryotic cells is described by the product of three terms, one describing electron donation, one acceptance, and a third, the thermodynamic drive. We apply the theory of nonequilibrium thermodynamics in the context of the chemiosmotic model of proton translocation and energy conservation...
متن کاملKinetics of integrated electron transfer in the mitochondrial respiratory chain: random collisions vs. solid state electron channeling.
Recent evidence, mainly based on native electrophoresis, has suggested that the mitochondrial respiratory chain is organized in the form of supercomplexes, due to the aggregation of the main respiratory chain enzymatic complexes. This evidence strongly contrasts the previously accepted model, the Random Diffusion Model, largely based on kinetic studies, stating that the complexes are randomly d...
متن کاملSingle-Molecule Kinetics of Interfacial Electron Transfer
Measurements of single-molecule chemical reaction kinetics are demonstrated for interfacial electron transfer from excited cresyl violet molecules to the conduction band of indium tin oxide (ITO) or energetically accessible surface electronic states under ambient conditions by using a far-field fluorescence microscope. In this system, each single molecule exhibits a single-exponential electron ...
متن کاملKinetics of proton-coupled electron-transfer reactions
The kinetics of proton-coupled electron-transfer (pcet) reactions are reported for Mn4O4(O2PPh2)6, 1, and [Mn4O4(O2PPh2)6] , 1 , with phenothiazine (pzH). Both pcet reactions form 1H, by H transfer to 1 and by hydride transfer to 1 . Surprisingly, the rate constants differ by only 25% despite large differences in the formal charges and driving force. The driving force is proportional to the dif...
متن کاملSpectral analysis of electron transfer kinetics II
Electron transfer processes in Debye solvents are studied using a spectral analysis method recently proposed. Spectral structure of a nonadiabatic twostate diffusion equation is investigated to reveal various kinetic regimes characterized by a broad range of physical parameters; electronic coupling, energy bias, reorganization energy, and solvent relaxation rate. Within this unified framework, ...
