Abstract

In eukaryote cells, substrates are terminally oxidized by enzymatic complexes of the respiratory chain located in the inner membrane of mitochondria. Oxidation of NADH or FADH2 by these enzymes is coupled to an ejection of protons into the intermembrane space. The resulting electrochemical gradient drives ATP synthesis which is achieved by re-entry of protons through the ATP synthetase.
