Coupling Electron Transport to ATP Synthesis

Coupling Electron Transport to ATP Synthesis

Chemiosmotic coupling suggests that ATP is not generated by direct chemical transfer, but rather stored energy from proton gradients, or movement across membranes.

Chemiosmotic Theory: "coupling of electron transfer to ATP synthesis is indirect, via a H+ electrochemical gradient"
