Abstract

A molecular mechanism of the energetic coupling of a sequence of electron transfer reactions to endergonic reactions is proposed and discussed from a physical point of view. The scheme represents a synthesis of concepts of electron transfer by tunneling and the conformational and chemiosmotic aspects of energy coupling processes. Its relation to existing experimental information and theoretical models is discussed, and further experimental tests are suggested.
