Question

ATP synthase converts the energy of a proton gradient to rotational/mechanical energy, which is used to generate ATP in a process called ?

Answer 1

At key role in the ATP synthase enzyme is the Proton motif force which can lead to generating the energy as ATP by the conformational changes in the enzymes by the ADP ATP by the protons the membrane of chloroplast and mitochondria, the ATP synthase enzyme can do the work very efficiently by passing the proton from lumen to the stroma that making the energy in the form of ATP. at the time of formation of ATP from ADP the proton gradient produced by the proton-pumping during the electron transport chain which is used to form ATP Protos flows in the direction of down of their concentration into the matrix through this membrane protein which is called ATP synthase this causes spin to the enzyme which can leads to conversion of ADP to ATP by catalyzing. the ATP synthase enzyme has various unites in it that is f1 and f0 in which the F0 unit utilizes a transmembrane electrochemical potential also called the proton motive force, converting it into the mechanical energy of the stalk rotation. The rotation leads to cyclic conformational changes in the catalytic sites in the F1 unit, thereby driving ATP synthesis. ATP synthase can also function in the reverse direction, hydrolyzing ATP, nd utilizing the released energy to pump protons across the membrane.
