Provide an explanation as to how the protonation/deprotonation of acetylsalicylic acid might allow it to act as an uncoupling agent?
Homework Answers
Uncoupling agent is a molecule or agent that breaks or uncouples the electrochemical gradient in the mitochondria. Acetylsalicylic acid is an uncoupling agent. It has a aromatic benzene ring attached to a acetyl group on one end. It has free oxygen molecule that can bind to the other hydrogen ions in the medium. It binds to the proton present in the intermembrane space and as it moves inside the inner mitochondrial membrane it releases the bound hydrogen in the mitochondria. In this way the protonation and deprotonation helps in the breaking of the electrochemical gradient created by the electron transport chain and behaves as a uncoupling agent.
