Explanation

The molecular mechanism of oxidative phosphorylation takes place in conjunction with the respiratory chain in the mitochondrial inner membrane.The respiratory chain is a series of protein complexes that are embedded in the mitochondrial inner membrane. The respiratory chain uses the energy released from the oxidation of NADH and FADH2 to pump protons across the mitochondrial inner membrane. This creates a proton gradient, which is used to drive the synthesis of ATP.
