Metabolism | Electron Transport Chain: Overview

Official Ninja Nerd Website: https://ninjanerd.org Ninja Nerds! In this high-yield metabolism lecture, Professor Zach Murphy presents a comprehensive overview of the Electron Transport Chain (ETC)—bringing together the structure, function, and regulation of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation in a single, streamlined session. This lecture condenses all the critical concepts from our detailed ETC series, making it the perfect review tool for mastering cellular energy production. We begin by revisiting the core architecture of the inner mitochondrial membrane, walking through the roles of Complexes I–IV, coenzyme Q, and cytochrome c in transferring electrons from NADH and FADH₂ to molecular oxygen. You’ll learn how the flow of electrons is coupled with the active pumping of protons into the intermembrane space, generating the essential proton motive force. From there, we explain how this electrochemical gradient drives ATP synthase (Complex V) to convert ADP into ATP—a process known as chemiosmosis. The lecture also reviews the effects of uncouplers, inhibitors, and conditions like cyanide poisoning, as well as the physiological importance of brown fat thermogenesis and mitochondrial efficiency.
