The Standard Reduction Potential for Ubiquinone (Q or Coenzyme Q) Δ\Delta

question 75

Essay

The standard reduction potential for ubiquinone (Q or coenzyme Q) is 0.045 V, and the standard reduction potential (E'°) for FAD is -0.219 V. Using these values, show that the oxidation of FADH2 by ubiquinone theoretically liberates enough energy to drive the synthesis of ATP. The Faraday constant,  The standard reduction potential for ubiquinone (Q or coenzyme Q) is 0.045 V, and the standard reduction potential (E'°) for FAD is -0.219 V. Using these values, show that the oxidation of FADH<sub>2</sub> by ubiquinone theoretically liberates enough energy to drive the synthesis of ATP. The Faraday constant,  , is 96.48 kJ/V · mol.  \Delta G'° for ATP synthesis is +30.5 kJ/mol. , is 96.48 kJ/V · mol. Δ\Delta G'° for ATP synthesis is +30.5 kJ/mol.
