Synthesis of ATP coupled with action of membrane protonic pumps at the octane–water interface

Nature volume 259, pages 494–496 (1976)Cite this article

Abstract

ATP SYNTHESIS in mitochondria is one of the most important energy-producing processes in the cell. We have studied the main stage of this process, the coupling of ATP synthetase to the action of membrane protonic pumps at an octane–water interface.
