Copper is needed in the final steps of the Krebs energy cycle called
the electron transport system.
• Coenzyme Q10: CoQ10 is a vital member of the mitochondrial
electron transport system (and therefore generation of ATP) and also a potent antioxidant.
Your body's
electron transport system, as part of iron / sulfur proteins in mitochondria, the energy factories of your cells
The mutations that underlie the mitochondriopathies Myoclonic Epilepsy with Ragged Red Fibers (MERRF) and some variants of Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy, Lactic Acidosis, and Strokelike Episodes (MELAS) create defective versions of particular mitochondrial amino acid tRNAs, leading to inefficient translation of
electron transport system (ETS) subunit proteins.
