Term merge: electron transport coupled proton transport #26343

Open ValWood opened 10 months ago

I don't see any difference, other than the way they are defined between

GO:0015990 electron transport coupled proton transport (15 EXP) The transport of protons against an electrochemical gradient, using energy from electron transport.

and GO:0022904 respiratory electron transport chain A process in which a series of electron carriers operate together to transfer electrons from donors such as NADH and FADH2 to any of several different terminal electron acceptors to generate a transmembrane electrochemical gradient.

the definition of GO:0022904 respiratory electron transport chain (292 EXP) could be extended to say ....with the concomitant transport of protons (H⁺) across the inner mitochondrial membrane, from the matrix to the intermembrane space.

but hydrogen transport isn't an independent process.

Single process

@pgaudet can you sanity check this one? (no hurry)
