The Department of Pathology offers six first-year residency positions and 24 residency positions in its fully ACGME-accredited four-year training program in anatomic and clinical pathology at the LAC+USC Medical Center.
The electron transport chain is the final stage of aerobic respiration leading to the forming of ATP in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion. The emergent picture is that of coupled reactions through five protein structures associated with that inner membrane.
It inhibits a protein complex called cytochrome c oxidase in the Electron Transport Chain on the mitochondrial inner membrane. This protein complex is responsible for transferring 4 electrons to one oxygen molecule and convert it into two water molecules. The Electron Transport Chain serves to maintain redox balance and establish a proton electrochemical gradient which drives the synthesis of ATP, the cell's energy currency.
