Abstract

A mechanism for oxidative phosphorylation is proposed. ATP synthesis would take place on a catalytic site of ATPase constituted by two irons with ligands ATP, ADP, and Pi. The interchange of ATP with ADP and Pi makes possible a redox cycle between two potentials permitting the energy transduction.
