Based on the concept of "pairs of basic functional states" the evolution of the first chemiosmotic mechanism of energy conversion is discussed in terms of point mutations, gene duplications and of the neutral theory of evolution. A model for estimating the overall probability of the evolutionary step in question is presented, both for the "selectionist" and "neutralist" position. It is concluded that, concerning the present stage of knowledge, the evolution of transmembrane electron transport is an unsolved problem in evolutionary biology.
基于“成对基本功能状态”的概念，从点突变、基因复制以及进化中性理论的角度讨论了能量转换的首个化学渗透机制的演变。针对“选择论者”和“中性论者”的立场，提出了一个用于估计相关进化步骤总体概率的模型。得出的结论是，就目前的知识阶段而言，跨膜电子传递的进化是进化生物学中一个尚未解决的问题。
