He went on to show that ATP synthesis was coupled to this electrochemical gradient.

Both steps are producing energy to be coupled to ATP synthesis.

However, the molecular mechanism of ATP synthesis has intrigued us now for 75 years.

The free energy is used to drive ATP synthesis.

Importantly, the process in the organelle has no net ATP synthesis.

The energy stored in this proton gradient is used to drive ATP synthesis.

However, they also require a small membrane potential for the kinetics of ATP synthesis.

F1 is a critical part of ATP synthesis within the mitochandria.

The free energy is used to drive ATP synthesis, catalyzed by the F component of the complex.

One significant difference is that oxidation in peroxisomes is not coupled to ATP synthesis.
