  2. P/O ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P/O_ratio

    The H+/2e − ratios of the three major respiratory complexes are generally agreed to be 4, 4, and 2 for Complexes I, III, and IV respectively. [7] The H + /O ratio thus depends whether the substrate electrons enter at the level of NADH (passing through all three for 10 H + /2e −) or ubiquinol (passing through only complexes III and IV for 6H ...

    ATP 4− + Mg 2+ ⇌ MgATP 2−, log β 4. is particularly large. [3] The formation of the magnesium complex is a critical element in the process of ATP hydrolysis, as it weakens the link between the terminal phosphate group and the rest of the molecule. [2] [4] The energy released in ATP hydrolysis, ATP 4− + H 2 O → ADP 3− + P i −

  4. Energy charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_charge

    The adenylate energy charge is an index used to measure the energy status of biological cells.. ATP or Mg-ATP is the principal molecule for storing and transferring energy in the cell : it is used for biosynthetic pathways, maintenance of transmembrane gradients, movement, cell division, etc...

  5. Carbohydrate catabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbohydrate_catabolism

    Oxidative phosphorylation contributes the majority of the ATP produced, compared to glycolysis and the Krebs cycle. While the ATP count is glycolysis and the Krebs cycle is two ATP molecules, the electron transport chain contributes, at most, twenty-eight ATP molecules. A contributing factor is due to the energy potentials of NADH and FADH 2.

  6. Dephosphorylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dephosphorylation

    atp 4− + h 2 o adp 3− + hpo 2− 4 + h + Adenosine triphosphate , or ATP, acts as a free energy "currency" in all living organisms. In a spontaneous dephosphorylation reaction 30.5 kJ/mol is released, which is harnessed to drive cellular reactions.

  7. Substrate-level phosphorylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substrate-level_phosphory...

    Substrate-level phosphorylation exemplified with the conversion of ADP to ATP. Substrate-level phosphorylation is a metabolism reaction that results in the production of ATP or GTP supported by the energy released from another high-energy bond that leads to phosphorylation of ADP or GDP to ATP or GTP (note that the reaction catalyzed by creatine kinase is not considered as "substrate-level ...

  8. Cellular respiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_respiration

    2 FADH 2 from the Krebs cycle: 2 × 1.5 ATP; Altogether this gives 4 + 3 (or 5) + 20 + 3 = 30 (or 32) ATP per molecule of glucose These figures may still require further tweaking as new structural details become available. The above value of 3 H + / ATP for the synthase assumes that the synthase translocates 9 protons, and produces 3 ATP, per ...

  9. ATP hydrolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATP_hydrolysis

    Structure of ATP Structure of ADP Four possible resonance structures for inorganic phosphate. ATP hydrolysis is the catabolic reaction process by which chemical energy that has been stored in the high-energy phosphoanhydride bonds in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is released after splitting these bonds, for example in muscles, by producing work in the form of mechanical energy.
