Abstract excerpt
The F(0)F(1)-ATP synthase couples the functions of H(+) transport and ATP synthesis/hydrolysis through the efficient transmission of energy mediated by rotation of the centrally located gamma, epsilon, and c subunits. To understand the gamma subunit role in the catalytic mechanism, we previously determined the partial rate constants and devised a minimal kinetic model for the rotational hydrolytic mode of the...
