WyjaÅ›nienie, dlaczego NADHÚje 2,5 ATP

The reason why NADH generates 2.5 ATP molecules!

When the two electrons from NADH are passecl down the electron transport a total of 10 H+ are pumped out of the matrix.

Adenine    .

nucleotide    AT F

translocase ADP^ (antiporter>

4H+

synthase

Phosphate H2P0.| translocase (symporter) ^H

4 H+ are needed to make an ATP molecule

10 (H+ out) / 4 (H+ in)

~ 2.5 ATP
