Is localized chemiosmosis necessary in mitochondria? Is Lee's TELP protonic capacitor hypothesis a reasonable model?
Recent high-resolution pH measurements in mitochondria show ΔpH across the F1F0 ATP synthase to be quite low, 0.07–0.32. Our meta-analysis of published values of transmembrane potential (Δψ) shows it to be identical in vivo and in vitro: -159 ± 16 mV. With the low ΔpH, the thermodynamic efficiency o...
