ATP synthase is a universal molecular machine for energy conversion. By coupling to cellular respiration in mitochondria, it catalyzes conversion of chemical energy of cells. Mitochondrial ATP ...

Figure 1: Structural arrangement of γ′ and ɛ-subunits from E. coli ATP synthase. The γ′–ɛ complex was crystallized from 0.5 M tartrate buffered with 0.1 M Tris-HCl at pH 8.8 (space group C222 1, a = ...

The mitochondrial ATP synthase is energy-converting macromolecular machine that uses the electrochemical potential across the bioenergetic membrane called cristae. This potential is maintained via a ...

Found inside mitochondria, ATP synthase generates the energy storage molecule adenosine triphosphate, which the cells of all living things use for fuel. The enzyme generally looks similar in shape ...
