ATP synthesis: the world's smallest wind-up toy.
Curr Biol 15:10 (2005) R385-R387
Abstract:
ATP synthase contains two rotary motors coupled back-to-back: the protonmotive force-driven motor F0 pushes the ATP-driven motor F1 in reverse, causing it to synthesize ATP. Half of this process has now been reproduced in vitro, using tiny magnets instead of F0 to drive the reverse rotation of a single F1 molecule.Structure and function of subunit a of the ATP synthase of Escherichia coli
