Problem
Johnferamol is a naturally occurring compound that allows for the reduction and oxidation of all components of the electron transport chain but prevents the activation of the proton pumps beyond coenzyme Q, but only by electrons provided by NADH.
Bobfortan is a synthetic compound that inhibits the ability of ATP synthase to transport protons across the cristate. Both are marketed to kill beavers, but only when applied in large quantities.
Using knowledge of aerobic cellular respiration, explain which compound (Johnferamol or Bobfortan) would be the faster-acting poison, as well as why they are only toxic in very large amounts. Mention the effect of each compound on the electron transport and chemiosmosis.
