}At the invitation of the Editors, this paper gives a summary sketch of my position regarding some metabolic aspects of energy transduction and describes some present and anticipated perspectives from my point of view. To maintain as broad a horizon as possible, however, I have used this opportunity to describe how my views, and the rationale that I have developed to express them, have been derived from accepted or acceptable physicochemical theory and biochemical knowledge stemming from the…

This article is an attempt to review present understanding of the structures and mechanisms of several osmoenzymes of central importance and to identify and define the underlying features which might be of general relevance to the study of chemiosmotic devices.

For most of those not directly involved in bioenergetic research, and indeed for many who are, the authors are still in the era of this hypothesis, even though the possibility of some form of localized protons as the intermediate of oxidative phosphorylation dominates current discussion of the mechanism.

Experimental evidence is presented confirming that, under the conditions of the oxygen-pulse experiments of Mitchell and Moyle, the extrusion of H+ is not associated with the oxidation of mitochondrial NADH, and the respiratory chain included in the chemiosmotic hypothesis is difficult to reconcile with present knowledge of the chain.

The end result of the coupling between the flows through the o/r and h/d pathways in oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria is that, for the equivalent of each pair of electrons traversing the respiratory chain, up to 3 anhydro-bond equivalents may normally traverse the h/D pathway from adenosine diphosphate plus inorganic phosphate (ADP +Pi) to water.
