Diagram of the inner mitochondrial membrane, showing three processes that underlie oxidative phosphorylation. (1) The electron transport chain, which involves NADH oxidation; (2) the uncoupling of oxidation from phosphorylation by leaking H+ across the inner mitochondrial membrane (Leak); and (3) phosphorylation to generate ATP (ATP synthesis). F0-F1 denotes the ATP synthase, UCP is uncoupling protein and ANT is the adenine nucleotide transporter.
