Figure: oxidative phosphorylation (GO:0006119)¶
This figure illustrates the oxidative phosphorylation pathway in Schizosaccharomyces pombe (fission yeast) as described in the GO-CAM model. The pathway shows electron transport through four major protein complexes embedded in the mitochondrial inner membrane.
The electron transport chain begins with NADH dehydrogenase (NDI1), which transfers electrons to Complex II (succinate dehydrogenase). From there, electrons flow to Complex III (cytochrome bc1 complex), which passes them to cytochrome c in the intermembrane space. Finally, cytochrome c transfers electrons to Complex IV (cytochrome c oxidase), where oxygen is reduced to water.
Each complex is shown with its key protein components as specified in the GO-CAM model. The pathway represents the coordinated process of electron transfer that ultimately drives ATP synthesis during oxidative phosphorylation.
Feedback from AI on figure:
{"feedback":"The drawing effectively captures the oxidative phosphorylation pathway in S. pombe with clear organization and professional presentation suitable for a scientific journal. The illustration features well-defined mitochondrial compartments (matrix, inner membrane, and intermembrane space), clearly labeled protein complexes with their respective subunits, directional electron flow indicated by red arrows, functional descriptions for each complex, and a comprehensive legend that explains the elements. The use of color coding helps distinguish between the different complexes while maintaining a cohesive visual style appropriate for publications like Cell or Nature. The inclusion of GO terms adds scientific precision without overwhelming the visual presentation.","necessary_changes":null,"optional_changes":null}
