The unbinding of ATP from F1-ATPase.
Using molecular dynamics, we study the unbinding of ATP in F(1)-ATPase from its tight binding state to its weak binding state. The calculations are made feasible through use of interpolated atomic structures from Wang and Oster [Nature 1998, 396: 279-282]. These structures are applied to atoms distant from the catalytic site. The forces from these distant atoms gradually drive a large primary r...
متن کاملTemperature-sensitive reaction intermediate of F1-ATPase
F(1)-ATPase is a rotary molecular motor that makes 120 degrees stepping rotations, with each step being driven by a single-ATP hydrolysis. In this study, a new reaction intermediate of F(1)-ATPase was discovered at a temperature below 4 degrees C, which makes a pause at the same angle in its rotation as when ATP binds. The rate constant of the intermediate reaction was strongly dependent on tem...
متن کاملSingle molecule energetics of F1-ATPase motor.
Motor proteins are essential in life processes because they convert the free energy of ATP hydrolysis to mechanical work. However, the fundamental question on how they work when different amounts of free energy are released after ATP hydrolysis remains unanswered. To answer this question, it is essential to clarify how the stepping motion of a motor protein reflects the concentrations of ATP, A...
متن کاملTorsional elasticity and energetics of F1-ATPase.
F(o)F(1)-ATPase is a rotary motor protein synthesizing ATP from ADP driven by a cross-membrane proton gradient. The proton flow through the membrane-embedded F(o) generates the rotary torque that drives the rotation of the asymmetric shaft of F(1). Mechanical energy of the rotating shaft is used by the F(1) catalytic subunit to synthesize ATP. It was suggested that elastic power transmission wi...
متن کاملAnatomy of F1-ATPase powered rotation.
F1-ATPase, the catalytic complex of the ATP synthase, is a molecular motor that can consume ATP to drive rotation of the γ-subunit inside the ring of three αβ-subunit heterodimers in 120° power strokes. To elucidate the mechanism of ATPase-powered rotation, we determined the angular velocity as a function of rotational position from single-molecule data collected at 200,000 frames per second wi...
