Summary Introduction

To review:

The chemical concentration difference and charge difference in proton potential along with the cellular reaction in the component of ∆p.

Introduction:

Proton motive force is the force that is generated by the electron transport chain which acts as a proton pump using the Gibbs free energy to pump the protons of redox reactions out across the membrane. The proton motive force ∆p drives many cellular processes.

Calculate the amount of ATP that be needed to be converted to ASP to pump 1mol of protons across a membrane from a solution of pH8 to pH6. (pH values are unchanged during the process). Where T=298K
A simple enzyme reaction can be described by the equation e + s ↔ es ↔ e + p, where e is the enzyme, s the substrate, p the product, and es the enzyme– substrate complex.Write a corresponding equation describing the workings of a transporter (T) that mediates the transport of a solute (s) down its concentration gradient.
Illustrate a coupled reaction, and explain the role of ATP in a coupled reaction.
