Molecular structure and hypothesized models for proton transport by UCPs. (A) UCPs are constituted by three repetition domains, each composed of two α-helix regions. (B) The proposed models for proton transport by UCPs are (a) flip-flop model; (b) cofactor model (transport linked to fatty acids); (c) cofactor model (independent transport).
