Question:
The proton-motive force (pmf) is essential for both mitochondrial and chloroplast functions. What produces the pmf, and what is its relationship to ATP? The compound 2, 4-dinitrophenol (DNP), which was used in diet pills in the 1930s but later shown to have dangerous side effects, allows protons to diffuse across membranes. Why is it dangerous to consume DNP?
