Chemiosmotic coupling of electron transport and ATP synthesis

Description

Protons are pumped by complexes I, III, and IV as electrons flow through the complexes, generating an electrochemical gradient across the membrane (protonmotive force, pmf).

Proton re-entry to the matrix, through the F0 channel of ATP synthase (complex V), provides the energy to drive ATP synthesis.

Chemiosmotic coupling refers to the use of a transmembrane proton gradient to drive endergonic processes like ATP synthesis.
