This molecule is produced by protons passing through a concentration gradient in the chemiosmotic mechanism.
Membrane proteins named for this molecule come in P-type, F-type, and V-type varieties. CFTR is an example of another type of membrane protein named for a cassette that binds this molecule. The gamma subunit of an enzyme that produces this molecule serves as a shaft that connects its F0 and F1 parts. This molecule is produced by protons passing through a concentration gradient in the chemiosmotic mechanism. 38 of these molecules can be produced per molecule of glucose used in cellular respiration through oxidative phosphorylation. This compound can be hydrolyzed to a phosphate ion and ADP. For 10 points, name this "energy currency" of the cell.
