Abstract excerpt
Unraveling the molecular nature of the conversion of chemical energy (ATP hydrolysis in the α/β-subunits) to mechanical energy and torque (rotation of the γ-subunit) in F1-ATPase is very challenging. A major part of the challenge involves understanding the rotary-chemical coupling by a nonphenomenological structure-energy description, while accounting for the observed torque generated on the γ-subunit and its...
