Rotary mechanism of the prokaryotic Vo motor driven by proton motive force

Abstract ATP synthases play a crucial role in energy production by utilizing the proton motive force (pmf) across the membrane to rotate their membrane-embedded rotor c-ring, and thus driving ATP synthesis in the hydrophilic catalytic hexamer. However, the mechanism of how pmf converts into c-ring r...
