ATP Synthase: ATP synthase is a complex, molecular machine that uses a proton (H+) gradient to form ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate (Pi). Chemiosmosis is used to generate 90 percent of the ATP made during aerobic glucose catabolism. The production of ATP using the process of chemiosmosis in mitochondria is called oxidative phosphorylation.
