Choose any/all that apply to the proton-motive force and ATP synthesis. The active pumping of protons through ATP synthase against their concentration gradient provides the energy needed for ATP synthesis. The ATP molecules produced from the pair of electrons provided by NADH have greater potential energy than the ATP molecules produced from the pair of electrons provided by FADH2. Each Beta subunit of ATP synthase has a distinct amino acid sequence that accounts for the three different active sites present in the enzyme. Rotation of the Y subunit creates conformational changes in the active sites of ATP synthase that drive the release of ATP from the enzyme. Inhibition of either ATP synthase or ATP translocase will stop flux through the electron-transport chain.

  2. The ATP molecules produced from the pair of electrons provided by NADH have greater potential energy than the ATP molecules produced from the pair of electrons provided by FADH2.
  3. Each Beta subunit of ATP synthase has a distinct amino acid sequence that accounts for the three different active sites present in the enzyme.
  4. Rotation of the Y subunit creates conformational changes in the active sites of ATP synthase that drive the release of ATP from the enzyme.
  5. Inhibition of either ATP synthase or ATP translocase will stop flux through the electron-transport chain.
