The researchers add a compound to the cell growth medium that both binds and releases protons (H+) and also pass through lipid membranes. The effect that the added compound will have on the ATP production by the cells is that ATP synthase will stop.
<h2>Further Explanation</h2>
If a compound passes through or enters the lipid bilayers within the plasma membrane and binds with the hydrogen ions and also causes it release, the effect of this is that there will be no presence of any hydrogen to pass through the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthase.
ATP synthase is present in the mitochondrial membrane when hydrogen ion is passed into the lumen of mitochondria which also due to the proton gradients which produced ATP molecule with hydrogen ion into the lumen. The adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecule is generated from inorganic phosphorus molecule and Adenosine diphosphate (ADP).
ATP synthase refers to an enzyme that produces adenosine triphosphate. ATP provides energy used to drive many processes within the living cells. It involves electron transfer from the intermembrane space to the inner membrane and moved back to the matrix.
The ATP is basically found from inorganic phosphate and Adenosine triphosphate (ADP).
Therefore, its effect is that ATP synthase will stops
