The reversibility of the ATPase that participates in oxidative phosphorylation is implicit within the idea that the phosphate potential (energy stored in ATP) comes into equilibrium with the respiratory chain [1]. This is the basis of an explanation of respiratory control in which ADP stimulated respiration (state 3) continues until this equilibrium is reached, whereupon respiration decreases to a controlled rate (state 4). Our purpose in this paper is to enquire whether this equilibrium view is always correct by considering the properties of the oxidative phosphorylation apparatus of ‘inside out’phosphorylating membrane vesicles from Puracoccus denitrificans which exhibit respiratory control [2, 3, 4].
