Abstract excerpt
The epsilon subunit of bacterial FoF1-ATP synthase (FoF1), a rotary motor protein, is known to inhibit the ATP hydrolysis reaction of this enzyme. The inhibitory effect is modulated by the conformation of the C-terminal alpha-helices of epsilon, and the "extended" but not "hairpin-folded" state is responsible for inhibition. Although the inhibition of ATP hydrolysis by the C-terminal domain of epsilon has been...
