ATP synthesis via chemiosmosis occurs when the proton motive force drives protons back into the matrix through ATP synthase, causing the enzyme to rotate and synthesize ATP.

| Back | proton motive force causes protons to move down their electrochemical gradient and diffuse back into matrix through ATP synthase, movement triggers molecular rotation of the enzyme, ATP synthesized |
