Molecular machinery of a membrane-bound proton pump : Studies of charge transfer reactions in cytochrome c oxidase
In cellular respiration, electron transfer from the breakdown of foodstuff is coupled to the formation of an electrochemical proton gradient. This is accomplished through proton translocation by respiratory complexes, and the proton gradient is subsequently used e.g. to drive ATP production. Consequ...
