The "Molecular Unit of Currency" - ATP

This web project is on the physics involved in ATP synthesis. Since taking high school biology I have found ATP and cellular respiration to be incredibly interesting. When this project was assigned, I immediately though about looking into ATP.  I was curious on the physics involved with the process thought it would be a fun and fascinating topic to learn about and share.
To make sure everyone (including myself) has a nice refresher of the Krebs cycle I have a page dedicated to outlining the process and what part I will be taking a closer look at. 
The underlying physics of ATP synthesis I am touching on are:
  • Electric Potential
  • Thermodynamics
  • Torque
