Abstract
The experiments described in this paper may perhaps point the way towards a reaction mechanism for oxidative phosphorylation. However, we are not yet in a position to write a detailed chemical equation, supported by experimental evidence, for the mechanism of ATP synthesis. Continued pursuit of some of the implications of these experiments will be very much dependent on information presently unavailable. For example, it would be of great value to have three-dimensional X-ray crystal structures for F0 as well as F1. It will also be important to know the pathway of proton translocation through the ATPase complex. We shall surely require entirely new experimental tools to probe many of these questions.
