A)Ser
B)Asp
C)Arg
D)Glu

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aspartate (Asp) residues in the c-subunit of ATP synthase act as proton acceptors during the proton translocation process that generates the proton motive force necessary for ATP synthesis. These Asp residues are then proton neutralized during ATP synthesis, leading to the generation of ATP. Therefore, choice B is the best answer.
