Suppose that you are able to manipulate the potential of the inner membrane of an isolated mitochondrion. You measure the pH of the mitochondrial matrix and find it to be 8.0.
You measure the bathing solution and find its pH to be 7.0. You clamp the inner membrane potential at +59 mV - that is, you force the matrix to be 59 mV positive with respect to the bathing medium. Under these circumstances, can the mitochondrion use the proton gradient to drive the synthesis of ATP? Explain your answer.
