Model Construction and Analysis of Respiration in Halobacterium salinarum
Fig 1
Bioenergetic components of the respiratory model.
The figure depicts the fluxes and variables of the oxidative phosphorylation model. The flux of the electron transport chain energizes the membrane which is used by the ATP synthase to create ATP. The potassium uniport creates a potassium gradient that can be used by the cell as a battery in darkness [3], while the sodium-proton antiport is used to regulate internal pH. X: unknown electron donor.
