Electron transport chain

• 5 stationary complex – I, II, III, IV, V

• 2 mobile carriers – CoQ (UQ), Cyt C

• All these complexes are made up of heme proteins except Ubiquinone Q (It’s a by product of cholesterol synthesis)

• All these complexes have iron in centre except complex IV (It have copper in centre)

ETC complex

 

Complex I

NADH linked dehydrogenase 

/ NADH CoQ oxidoreductase

Complex II

Succinate dehydrogenase 

/ Succinate CoQ oxidoreductase: 

Enzyme of kreb’s cycle

Complex III

Cyt b & c1

Complex IV

– Cyt a & a3

– CuA, CuB

Complex V

ATP synthase 

/ F₀-F₁ complex
