Term
What does Rotanone do?
Definition

It inhibits Complex 1

  1. NADH can't give electrons to Complex 1 (NADH pools)
  2. CoQ can't pick up electrons from Complex 1
  3. CoQ CAN pick up electrons from TCA cycle
  4. Complex 1 usually gets 4 H+ across but now you can't, so you lose 1 ATP
Term
What does Malonate do
Definition

It inhibits Complex II (CoQ)

Complex 1 can still get electrons to CoQ so you still get H+

It is a problem with TCA cycle

Everything acts the way it is supposed to except Complex II

Term
What does Antimycin do?
Definition
It inhibits Comlpex III
CoQ can't give electrons to Complex III
CoQ stays reduced
After some time, all of your CoQ is reduced.
Then, when Q wants to get rid of electrons, it can't.
This blocks Complex II
Complex I can't get rid of electrons either so it blocks up

It blocks both pathways of electrons. THis is bad for cell
Term
What do CO2, N3, and CCN do
Definition

They block Complex IV

This blocks the passage of electrons from Complex I and II
