In this video I have explained the fundamental basis of electron transport chain that is the redox potential of NADH which is a electron donor and O2 which is a final electron acceptor. Electron transport chain which also referred as oxidative phosphorylation or respiratory chain runs with the redox potential difference of 1140 mv between NADH and O2. This drives flow of electrons from NADH to O2 via complex I, CoQ, III, cytochrome C and complex IV. The energy in the flow of electrons helps in pumping of protons across the membrane.
Let me introduce myself to you!!

- I'm a physician doctor with an MD degree. My passion for teaching has always been appreciated by students with whom I have shared my knowledge. I'm a passionate teacher of medical biochemistry and would like to share my knowledge about this beautiful subject with all those who is interested to learn to understand the cellular metabolic events and to understand the metabolic disease process. I would like to learn new things by keeping myself updated with current research in the field. Let us share the knowledge each other!!

Why Electrons flow from NADH to O2 in Electron Transport Chain
In this video I have explained the fundamental basis of electron transport chain that is the redox potential of NADH which is a electron donor and O2 which is a final electron acceptor.
