The 49 pages that link to Oxidative phosphorylation, each with the reason it gives.

• OxidationBroader topic: Oxidation of electron carriers powers the proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis.

• Cellular respirationBroader topic: It is the ATP-generating stage of respiration, not the entire respiratory process.

• GlycolysisCompared with: It produces far more ATP per glucose overall, but depends on respiratory electron transport.

• Adenosine triphosphateRelated: It generates most ATP in many oxygen-using eukaryotic cells.

• ATPRelated: It supplies much of the ATP used by sustained cellular activity.

• Lactic acid fermentationCompared with: Fermentation yields ATP through glycolysis rather than this membrane-based process.

• HypoxiaRelated: Low oxygen constrains this major source of cellular energy.

• Anaerobic respirationRelated: Many anaerobic respiratory pathways use this process to make ATP.

• Citric acid cycleRelated: NADH and FADH₂ from the cycle supply electrons for most ATP made during aerobic respiration.

• Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotideRelated: NADH supplies electrons to the respiratory chain, supporting ATP synthesis.

• PhysiologyBroader topic: Its ATP production powers many energy-demanding physiological processes.

• BiochemistryBroader topic: It shows how chemical energy in electrons becomes usable cellular energy.

• Mitochondrial diseaseBroader topic: Defects in this process are a common route from mitochondrial dysfunction to cellular energy shortage.

• Cyanide poisoningNarrower topic: Cyanide poisoning interrupts this energy-producing process at its final oxygen-dependent step.

• Electron transport chainNarrower topic: The mitochondrial chain is the electron-transfer part of this broader ATP-producing process.

• Lactate dehydrogenaseCompared with: When oxygen-dependent oxidation cannot reoxidize NADH fast enough, lactate formation helps restore NAD⁺.

• ATP synthaseRelated: Mitochondrial ATP synthase completes this process by using the gradient to make ATP.

• PhosphateRelated: It joins inorganic phosphate to ADP during aerobic energy conversion.

• PhosphorylationBroader topic: This named process couples phosphate addition to energy capture, rather than chiefly regulating a target protein.

• Aerobic respirationBroader topic: It converts the gradient generated during aerobic respiration into most of its ATP.

• Cytochrome c oxidaseNarrower topic: Cytochrome c oxidase helps generate the gradient that drives this process.

• ATP hydrolysisCompared with: It captures energy to synthesize ATP, rather than using ATP hydrolysis to power work.

• ChemiosmosisBroader topic: It is the principal mitochondrial process coupling respiration to ATP synthesis.

• Adenosine diphosphateBroader topic: It regenerates ATP from ADP using energy released by electron transport.

• Cori cycleCompared with: It generates ATP using oxygen, whereas the cycle’s muscle lactate production supports glycolysis when oxidative capacity is limited.

• CyanideRelated: Blocking respiration disrupts the gradient that drives this main source of cellular ATP.

• LactateCompared with: Unlike lactate formation, it oxidizes fuels using oxygen as the final electron acceptor.

• Mitochondrial dysfunctionRelated: Its failure can reduce ATP output and disrupt the proton gradient.

• NADHRelated: NADH oxidation supplies much of the energy that sustains this ATP-producing process.

• Substrate-level phosphorylationCompared with: Unlike direct transfer from a metabolic intermediate, it depends on chemiosmosis.

• ChemolithotrophyRelated: It converts energy from donor oxidation into ATP in many chemolithotrophs.

• Acetic acid fermentationRelated: Respiration helps bacteria conserve energy while transferring electrons from ethanol oxidation to oxygen.

• ArsenateRelated: Arsenate can interfere with phosphate-dependent energy metabolism, though it does not simply replace phosphate in this process.

• CoenzymeRelated: NADH and FADH₂ deliver electrons to the respiratory chain.

• UbiquinoneNarrower topic: Ubiquinone connects electron flow to the gradient used for ATP production.

• MELASNarrower topic: Impaired energy production is central to MELAS pathophysiology.

• Leigh syndromeBroader topic: Defects in this energy-producing process cause many cases of Leigh syndrome.

• NiclosamideRelated: Niclosamide disrupts energy production by uncoupling this process in susceptible organisms.

• CatabolismRelated: It uses reducing power from catabolism to make much of the ATP in aerobic cells.

• Flavin mononucleotideRelated: FMN-supported electron flow can contribute to the gradient that powers ATP production.

• John E. WalkerNarrower topic: It supplies the proton gradient that powers the ATP synthase central to Walker’s work.

• Light-dependent reactionsCompared with: It shares chemiosmotic ATP synthesis but uses respiratory rather than light-driven electron transport.

• Peter D. MitchellRelated: It became the best-known application of the mechanism Mitchell proposed.

• 2,4-DinitrophenolNarrower topic: DNP disrupts the coupling between this process’s proton gradient and ATP synthesis.

• AnaerobicCompared with: It provides a familiar oxygen-dependent contrast to anaerobic energy pathways.

• Barth syndromeRelated: Disrupted mitochondrial membrane organization can impair this energy-producing process.

• MitochondriaBroader topic: It produces most mitochondrial ATP across the inner membrane.

• Otto Heinrich WarburgRelated: Warburg’s respiratory-enzyme research helped illuminate the oxygen-dependent energy pathway.

• Oxyphil cells (parathyroid)Related: Abundant mitochondria point to substantial oxidative metabolism in oxyphil cells.
