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.
Understanding cellular metabolic process will help us to understand the disease process when some metabolic events go wrong!! With this blog I would like to share my medical biochemistry knowledge with you!!!
