ATP synthase uses a specific stoichiometric ratio of protons to synthesize each ATP molecule
the verdict
SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
confidence 85/100
ATP synthase relies on a specific stoichiometric ratio of protons to synthesize ATP, which is determined by the ring structure of its c-subunits and varies in a species-specific manner.
