Question

Focusing on the mechanism linking complex I and ATP synthase depicted in figure 3 in the article, compare that hypothetical mechanism to the classical presentation described in our textbook. What are the major differences between this mechanism and Peter Mitchel’s original chemiosmotic theory? What are the similarities.

Figure 3. A possible H* circuit inside respiring membrane. The phosphate groups of phospholipids on both sides of the membrane are shown by brown ellipsoids.
The image proposes that the H+ (red dotted line) are transferred to the Glu 58 (E58) at the centre of subunit c through subunit a of ATP synthase by proton
tunnelling. H+ would flow from the periplasmic side, always bound to phospholipid heads. This can be arranged in each layer of the membrane.

Figure 11.8 Electron pairs (2 e) from NADH and
FADH₂ flow through the electron transport system. a.
Electrons from NADH enter the electron transport syster
at complex I, then flow to coenzyme Q, complex III, and
complex IV. A total of 10 H* are concomitantly
translocated. b. Electron pairs are derived from FADH₂
oxidation at complex II (succinate dehydrogenase), from
ETF-Q oxidoreductase of the fatty acid oxidation
pathway, or from mitochondrial glycerol-3-phosphate
dehydrogenase, which is part of the glycerol-3-phosphat
shuttle. A total of 6 H* are concomitantly translocated
when electrons are derived from FADH₂.
