Phosphorylation in biomembranes

ATPase activity and exchange reactions, such as P,-ATP exchange, are partial reactions of oxidative and photosynthetic phosphorylation. These reactions have been described in detail and have been considered to consist of a series of reversible chemical reactions forming high energy intermediates (X-Y and X-P) [104-106]. In 

The driving force of ATP synthesis in FgFj is the [1]. The AjEtH+ is usually 

The phenomena not expected by the chemiosmotic theory were the synthesis of ATP (Fj-bound form) and P- O exchange reaction without the direct participation of the A/tH+. These are observed in soluble system containing isolated Fj. These will be discussed in Section 3.4.
