atp synthase

How does ATP Synthase Work?

ATP Synthase operates through a rotary mechanism. It consists of two main parts: the F0 and F1 subunits. The F0 subunit forms a channel through which protons flow, causing the subunit to rotate. This rotation drives conformational changes in the F1 subunit, which in turn catalyzes the synthesis of ATP from ADP and Pi. The efficiency and precision of this rotary mechanism are of particular interest for the development of nanorobots and other nanoscale devices.
