Document Summary

Mitchell was recognized for his hypothesis for the chemoiosmotic hypothesis. He realized that the proton gradient could be used to synthesis atp rather than just using substrate level phosphorylation. Boyer and walker came up with the mechanism for atp synthase. Boyer was able to elucidate the mechanism by which the proton transfer through. Atpase drives the formation of atp by the enzyme. Walker determined the first high resolution x-ray structure of different portions of the enzyme. The movies shown today are from his lab. The protons are being pumped from the mitochondria membrane to the intermembrane space, which is the space between the inner and outer membranes of the mitochondria. We will talk about how these protons are used to power atp synthase. The moving of protons creates a voltage between the membranes. The energy from the first reaction cannot be directly used to produce atp from.
