An<unk>  (EC 3.6.3.14) is a general term for an enzyme that can synthesize adenosine triphosphate <unk>  from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate by using some form of energy. This energy is often in the form of protons moving down a electrochemical gradient, such as from the lumen into the stroma of chloroplasts or from the inter-membrane space into the matrix in mitochondria. The overall reaction sequence is:
These enzymes are of crucial importance in almost all organisms, because<unk>  is the common "energy currency" of cells.
The antibiotic oligomycin inhibits the FO unit of<unk> .
