Abstract excerpt
When mitochondria become deenergized, futile ATP hydrolysis is prevented by reversible binding of an endogenous inhibitory peptide called IF1 to ATP synthase. Between initial IF1 binding and IF1 locking the enzyme experiences large conformational changes. While structural studies give access to analysis of the dead-end inhibited state, transient states have thus far not been described. Here, we studied both...
