The stoichiometry of c subunits in the H+-transporting Fo rotary motor of ATP synthase is uncertain, the most recent suggestions varying from 10 to 14. The stoichiometry will determine the number of ...

F-Type ATP synthase, a catalytic complex of proteins, synthesizes adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of living cells. A lot of ambiguity exists over the rotational mechanism of this ...

A team of specialists in nano-sized rotational motors have directly visualized the process of pumping sodium ions, enabling them to explain why there had up until now appeared to be a structural ...

Mycoplasmas, including bacteria that cause pneumonia in humans, are generally nonmotile, but Mycoplasma mobile, as the species name suggests, has been found in the gills of fish and seems to move by ...

NATURE’S smallest rotary motor has finally been coaxed into producing chemical energy in the lab. The experiment paves the way for molecular motors that might power future nanodevices. Cells ...

Scientists have solved the structure of mitochondrial ATP synthase, an enzyme that makes ATP, adenosine triphosphate, the major energy source of cells. A team of scientists headed by Rosalind Franklin ...

The miniature motor that drives our cells has been caught in the act. Researchers in Japan have taken stunning new pictures of the cell's power source at work 1. Animals, plants and bacteria rely on ...

(Nanowerk News) A research team led by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has succeeded for the first time in producing a molecular electric motor using the DNA origami method ("A DNA origami ...
