FoF1 ATPase is the universal protein responsible for ATP synthesis. The enzyme comprises two reversible rotary motors: Fo is either an ion 'turbine' or an ion pump, and F1 is either a hydrolysis motor or an ATP synthesizer. Recent biophysical and biochemical studies have helped to elucidate the operating principles for both motors.

Electricity is one of the essential requirements for economic development a country. In Ethiopia, more than half total population does not have access to electric power. Micro-hydropower (MHP) most feasible renewable energy options providing reliable electricity rural areas. However, in low-income countries such as high price purpose-made turbine generate from MHP resources difficult. This pape...
