The change in actual Gibbs energy for the translocation of 1 mole of H+ across the inner membrane is -20.8 kJ/mol. Using this value, what is the change in actual Gibbs energy for FADH2 oxidation? What is the efficiency of energy conversion by FADH2 oxidation at Complex II?

Answer (2)

The change in actual Gibbs energy for FADH₂ oxidation at Complex II is calculated to be -124.8 kJ/mol. The efficiency of energy conversion is approximately 36.66% based on the energy released during ATP synthesis. This reflects how effectively the energy from FADH₂ is converted into usable biochemical energy.
