ATP synthase is also referred to as complex V of the respiratory chain, a series of protein complexes in the membrane of mitochondria. This respiratory chain creates a proton gradient, which the ...

ATP, the fuel of life, is produced in mitochondria of living cells by a molecular machine, the ATP synthase. Researchers have isolated the machines from four fungal species, compared their ...

ATP synthase can be thought of as a complex of two motors — the ATP-driven F1 motor and the proton-driven Fo motor — that rotate in opposite directions. The mechanisms by which rotation and ...

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 ...

Complex V uses the proton motive force that is generated by the respiratory chain for the synthesis of ATP. The catalytic F 1 domain of complex V consists of a trimer of α−β dimers and a ...

Mechanistically, these muropeptides were shown to enter intestinal-cell mitochondria to interact with the F1 complex of ATP synthase, stabilizing the complex and increasing mitochondrial respiration.

The structure of the ATP synthase from ciliates revealed a dimer, which unlike in all the previously investigated complexes, the two membrane-embedded parts are not identical to each other.

All the latest science news on atp synthase from Phys.org. Find the latest news, advancements, and breakthroughs.

Resveratrol targets Complexes I and II, but it also targets the F1 domain of ATP synthase, resulting in a non-competitive inhibition of F1-ATP synthase activity.

P5CS-containing mitochondria lacked the MICOS complex component MIC60 and ATP synthase subunit ATP5I. Lack of OPA1 disrupted the cristae but did not prevent proline biosynthesis.

Mitochondria, the power plants of the cell, make massive contributions to the energy supply of the body by burning metabolites with the help of oxygen. This cellular respiration takes place in the ...
