Respiratory Chain Complex V - Action of the ATP Synthase after Application of ATP

  SURFE²R N1 data and applications:

The Respiratory Chain Complex V uses the transmembrane proton gradient (produced by Complex I, III and IV) to generates ATP from ADP plus phosphate. One component of ATP synthase acts as an ion channel that provides for a proton flux back into the mitochondrial matrix. This reflux releases free energy, which is used to drive ATP synthesis, catalyzed by the other component of the complex. Experiments on the SURFE²R N1 show the action of the ATPase after application of ATP.
