The electrochemical proton gradient and ATP synthase At the inner mitochondrial membrane, a high energy electron is passed along an electron transport chain. The energy released pumps hydrogen out ...

A giant molecular proton pump, called complex I, is crucial: ... ATP synthase, the last protein in the chain, then uses this proton gradient to generate ATP.

By contrast, ATP synthase does not contain any cofactors in the membrane, and proton translocation back into the matrix drives rotation of the ring of membrane-embedded subunits, resulting in ...

The chemical ATP, adenosine triphosphate, is the fuel that powers all life. Despite ATP's central role, the structure of the enzyme generating ATP, F1Fo-ATP synthase, in mammals, including humans ...
