Single molecule studies of F1-ATPase and the application of external torque
- Abstract:
-
F1-ATPase, the sector of ATP synthase where the synthesis of cellular ATP occurs, is a rotary molecular motor in its own right. Driven by ATP hydrolysis, direct observation of the rotation of the central axis within single molecules of F1 is possible. Operating at close to 100% efficiency, F1 from thermophilic Bacillus has been shown to produce ~40pN˙nm of torque during rotation.
