Q1
A newborn with mitochondrial DNA mutation has hypotonia and cardiomyopathy with lactate 9.0 mmol/L (0.5–2.2). The clinician explains that oxidative phosphorylation occurs across the inner mitochondrial membrane and depends on a proton gradient. Which of the following mechanisms best explains decreased ATP production in this disorder?
