Question

What inhibits ATP synthesis?

Answer 1

ATP synthesis:

1. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is needed for the contraction of muscle, active ion transportation, signaling of cells, and biomolecule synthesis.
2. In the process of cellular respiration, ATP is synthesized.
3. The respiratory substrates include proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, etc.

Inhibition:

1. ATP synthase is inhibited by several antibiotics.
2. The antibiotics like efrapeptins and aurovertins inhibit ATP synthesis.
3. Inhibition of ATP synthesis can be able to treat diseases.
