摘要
The most commonly quoted mechanism of the coupling between the electrochemical proton gradient and the formation of ATP from ADP and P-i assumes that all states of the FI portion of the ATP synthase have beta subunits in "tight," " loose," and "open" conformations. Models based on this assumption are inconsistent with some of the available experimental evidence. A mechanism that includes an additional beta subunit conformation, "closed," observed in the rat liver structure overcomes these difficulties.
