= ATP synthesis by chemiosmosis
{c}

Downhill ion transport through <ATP synthase> can drive <ATP> formation from its substrates. The electrochemical free-energy drop per transported ion combines the <membrane potential> and concentration term. Reverse coupling can use <ATP hydrolysis> to maintain the ion gradient.
