Peter D. Mitchell

Asking the question of whether ATP actually yields the vast majority of the energy for the body is not a question that we feel we need to ask.

Perhaps it does exactly what Peter Mitchell said.

Perhaps chemiosmotic theory is exactly correct.

It just seems...

The next section is called Chemiosmotic Theory.

The British biochemist Peter Mitchell formulated his chemiosmotic theory of oxidative phosphorylation in 1961 without a shred of experimental evidence.

But the theory did not come out of nowhere either.

It was ultimately a result of a lifelong development of Mitchell's idiosyncratic philosophical framework related to general foundations of life.
