Abstract excerpt
We present a mechanism for F(1)-ATPase in which hydrolysis of MgATP in the high-affinity catalytic site at the alpha/beta interface drives rotation of the gamma subunit via conformational changes in the alpha subunit. During hydrolysis, transition state formation and separation of P(i) from MgADP causes movement of portions of alpha, transmitted via two Arg residues which are hydrogen-bonded to the...
