Rotor Orientation
Rotor orientation determines binding strength in the F1 subunit
o Rotation of rotor (gamma subunit) in FO part of the protein (red) induces
conformational changes in F1 static subunit
As the gamma subunit moves around, towards the three equivalent lobes of F1
protein (each made of alpha & beta subunits), it changes the conformation
between an opened, loose and tight binding state
The F1 subunit alternates between open, loose and tight substrate binding
o Rotor movement drives shift from open to loose to tight binding
When it is opened, can release newly formed ATP and bind ADP
o In order for this to work, the mitochondrial matrix maintains a high [c] of ADP
and low [c] of ATP
o Such that as soon as have an open site, will bind ADP
This then proceeds to a loose but bound conformation as the rotor turns to the
next station
o As it turns again, the loose conformation tightens
Tight binding of ADP and phosphate excludes water from the reaction site and
promotes formation of ATP
o Tightening removes water from the binding site
o Hydrolysis reaction is taking a water molecule and attacking a bond with the
electrons from the oxygen
Binding OH from the water to one of the molecules and H on the other
o Lose conformation change in the protein to tighten the substrate binding site
to exclude any present water molecules
In dry condition, hydrolysis reaction is not favored and the ADP + Pi -->
ATP becomes much more favorable since there is no water to reverse
the reaction
Once the transition state is stabilized, the rotor turns around
o Tight binding conformation opens up and ATP can leave
Tight binding conformation excludes water from the reaction site
o This is enough to make ATP formation favorable
ATP from Aerobic Glycolysis
Oxidative phosphorylation makes most of the ATP we get from aerobic glycolysis
Net product of glycolysis is 2 ATP and 2 NADH
o Go from one 6C sugar to two 3C sugar-like molecules
