Which of the following statements is incorrect with respect to chemiosmotic hypothesis of ATP formation?
A
ATP synthesis is linked to development of a proton gradient across a membrane
B
The NADP reductase enzyme is located on the stroma side of the membrane
C
The proton gradient across the thylakoid is broken down due to the movement of protons through transmembrane channels, i.e. 
of ATPase
of ATPase
D
The breakdown of the gradient provides enough energy to cause a conformational change in the 
particle of the ATPase
particle of the ATPase
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Statement in option is incorrect and can be corrected as
The breakdown of the gradient provides enough energy to cause a conformational change in the 
particle of the ATP synthase, which makes the enzyme synthesise the molecules of energy packed ATP
