ATP synthase is a universal molecular machine for energy conversion. By coupling to cellular respiration in mitochondria, it catalyzes conversion of chemical energy of cells. Mitochondrial ATP ...

Using electron microscopy and high-speed atomic force microscopy, researchers show the internal molecular motor behind the gliding mechanism for Mycoplasma mobile to consist of two ATP synthase ...

Since raising the activity of ATP synthase may boost mitochondrial respiration and energy production, a chemical agonist of ATP synthase would have high therapeutic potential in this regard.
