PROTON TUNNELING. “Cytochrome c oxidase pumps more than 10(3) protons per second. This is a much higher rate than protons can be supplied to the proton conducting channels of the cytochromes via the bulk diffusion rate that biochemistry believes drives this pump. They are driven by proton tunneling.”
