Mitochondrial membrane


The mitochondrial membranes
The outer and inner membranes are composed of phospholipid bilayers studded with proteins, much like a typical cell membrane. The two membranes, however, have very different properties.

The outer mitochondrial membrane, which encloses the entire organelle, contains numerous integral proteins called porins, ...

chemiosmotic coupling Coupling of ATP synthesis to electron transfer via an electrochemical pH gradient across a membrane (inner mitochondrial membrane, bacterial plasma membrane, or thylakoid membrane).

Confocal fluorescence microscopy directly visualizes the increased mitochondrial membrane permeability of the mPT from the movement of calcein from the cytosol into the matrix space.

Most of the ATP is generated by the proton gradient that develops across the inner mitochondrial membrane.

cristae: the folds of the inner mitochondrial membrane.
crossing over: a process during prophase I in which segments of DNA from one chromatid in the tetrad pass to another chromatid in the tetrad.
cyanobacteria: see blue-green algae.

A protein found in the mitochondria that exists in two forms. The first form prevents the mitochondrial membrane from destabilizing. When mtCK is inactivated by free radicals, it transforms to the second form, making the membrane less stable.

The mechanism for the oxidative phosphorylation process is the gradient of H+ ions discovered across the inner mitochondrial membrane. This mechanism is known as chemiosmotic coupling. This involves both chemical and transport processes.
