Abstract excerpt
F1-ATPase is an ATP-driven rotary motor in which a rod-shaped gamma subunit rotates inside a cylinder made of alpha3beta3 subunits. To elucidate the conformations of rotating F1, we measured fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between a donor on one of the three betas and an acceptor on gamma in single F1 molecules. The yield of FRET changed stepwise at low ATP concentrations, reflecting the stepwise...
