The process of introducing a phosphate group into a molecule, usually with the formation of a phosphoric ester, a phosphoric anhydride or a phosphoric amide. The transfer of electrons through a series of electron donors and acceptors, generating energy that is ultimately used for synthesis of ATP. The transport of protons across a membrane to generate an electrochemical gradient (proton-motive force) that powers ATP synthesis. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of precursor metabolites, substances from which energy is derived, and any process involved in the liberation of energy from these substances. The chemical reactions and pathways involving the phosphate group, the anion or salt of any phosphoric acid. The chemical reactions and pathways by which individual cells transform chemical substances. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the phosphorylation of ADP to ATP that accompanies the oxidation of a metabolite through the operation of the respiratory chain. Oxidation of compounds establishes a proton gradient across the membrane, providing the energy for ATP synthesis. The phosphorylation of ADP to ATP that accompanies the oxidation of a metabolite through the operation of the respiratory chain. Oxidation of compounds establishes a proton gradient across the membrane, providing the energy for ATP synthesis.
