Abstract excerpt
Proton translocating ATPase (ATP synthase), a chemiosmotic enzyme, synthesizes ATP from ADP and phosphate coupling with the electrochemical ion gradient across the membrane. This enzyme has been studied extensively by combined genetic, biochemical and biophysical approaches. Such studies revealed a unique mechanism which transforms an electrochemical ion gradient into chemical energy through the rotation of a...
