Abstract excerpt
F-ATPases synthesize ATP from ADP and phosphate coupled with an electrochemical proton gradient in bacterial or mitochondrial membranes and can hydrolyse ATP to form the gradient. F-ATPases consist of a catalytic F1 and proton channel F0 formed from the alpha3beta3gammadelta and ab2c10 subunit complexes, respectively. The rotation of gammaepsilonc10 couples catalyses and proton transport. Consistent with the...
