Abstract excerpt
ATP synthase uses a unique rotary mechanism to couple ATP synthesis and hydrolysis to transmembrane proton translocation. The F(1) subcomplex has three catalytic nucleotide binding sites, one on each beta subunit, with widely differing affinities for MgATP or MgADP. During rotational catalysis, the sites switch their affinities. The affinity of each site is determined by the position of the central gamma subunit....
