Abstract excerpt
The EF(0)F(1)-ATP synthase mutants bQ64C and gamma T106C were labelled selectively with the fluorophores tetramethylrhodamine (TMR) at the b-subunit and with a cyanine (Cy5) at the gamma-subunit. After reconstitution into liposomes, these double-labelled enzymes catalyzed ATP synthesis at a rate of 33 s(-1). Fluorescence of TMR and Cy5 was measured with a confocal set-up for single-molecule detection. Photon...
