ND4
the ND4 protein, which is essential for complex I's function in the electron transport chain
The transport chain is a series of protein complexes embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane
that facilitates the transfer of electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors
substances that give up electrons during a chemical reaction, essentially acting as reducing agents. They are involved in redox reactions, where electrons are transferred from the donor to an electron acceptor
a substance that can receive electrons from another molecule, typically during a redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction
ultimately leading to the generation of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.
This process is essential for cellular respiration and involves a series of redox reactions that create an electrochemical gradient, driving ATP synthesis
Complex I is responsible for transferring electrons and protons, generating a gradient that drives ATP synthesis, the process by which cells produce energy

Arginine
The molecule features a guanidino group appended to a standard amino acid framework. At physiological pH, the carboxylic acid is deprotonated and both the amino and guanidino groups are protonated, resulting in a cation
