Oxidative Phosphorylation Uncouplers

Oxidative phosphorylation is a combination of two simultaneous processes; the electron transport chain and chemiosmotic coupling. The electron transport chain (also known as the respiratory chain) comprises 4 complexes located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. NADH and FADH₂, produced from glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, release electrons at certain points in the chain, which are passed from one electron acceptor to the next. Each time an electron is passed from one complex to the next, it ...
