Hydrogen-ion transfer provides energy to convert ADP to ATP {phosphorylation}. ADP makes ATP {oxidative phosphorylation}, using hydrogen-ion gradient set up by respiratory chain in mitochondria inner membrane. Channels through membrane allow hydrogen ions to flow past ATPase, which uses electric and flow energy to phosphorylate ADP. ADP controls process by controlling coupling between FAD+ to FADH2 [2 is subscript] and NAD+ to NADH, by folding inner membrane more or less. Arsenate or dinitrophenol destroys pH gradient. Oligomycin binds to ATPase.
