This paper deals with the action of SF6847, which shows scientific fiction-like very potent uncoupling activity of oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria. SF6847 was found to act as a catalyst due to its protonophoric activity, supporting the establishment of chemi-osomotic energy transduction theory of oxidative phosphorylation. Structural basis of the efficient protonophoric action of SF6847 is discussed.
