Chapter 23, Problem 54P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The importance of the hydrogen ions movement in ATP synthase needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

ATP synthase refers to an enzyme which is known for the creation of the energy storage molecule, called as ATP (Adenosine triphosphate). ATP is used as an "energy currency" of cells for all the living beings. The term electron transport chain refers to a series of complexes having ability to transfer electrons between electron donors and electron acceptors via redox reactions. The transferred electrons get coupled with protons transfer across the membrane.

Why are some metabolic reactions coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP?     To drive the nonspontaneous reaction     To extend the half-life of enzymes     To increase the equilibrium constant     To bypass metabolic regulation
For a given acid HA, it was determined that at pH 6.0 the concentration of the conjugate base [A] was 0.075 M and the acid [HA] was 0.025 M. What percent of this acid is ionized at pH 6.0? What is the pKa of this acid? What pH would this acid be 50% lonized?
What is proton gradient? Why is it significant in the process of generating ATP?
