Abstract: The chemiosmotic theory states that energy stored as a proton gradient across biological membranes is converted to useful chemical energy in the form of ATP. This process involves a series of reactions in which reduction of oxygen is coupled to proton translocation — the question is how. A study using two types of measurement now provides surprising results which indicate that a complete rethink of the accepted theory is needed.
