Description

The mitochondrial F-ATP synthase synthesises ATP molecules, the energy currency of life, by utilising the proton transmembrane gradient force generated from the oxidation of nutrients in the electron transport chain. The bioenergetic cost (in protons) to make one ATP molecule is proportional to the size of the c-ring (i.e. number of the c-subunits) of the protein. Traditionally, this was thought to be 3.3-5 protons, until the recent discovery that it is more efficient in bovine ATP synthase. ...
