Reaction: FA anion diffuses laterally to UCP
- in pathway: The fatty acid cycling model
A FA anion diffuses laterally within the membrane towards UCP. The membrane potential drives the FA anion to an energy well halfway up on UCP. The electric field created by the redox-linked proton ejection drives the head group to the energy well.
