Development of a Generator to Power ATP-Driven Molecular Motors
Description:
Here, we report a maximum ATP synthesis rate of 193 nmol/min/mg for thermophilic F{sub 1}F{sub 0}. This rate is somewhat lower than the previously observed maximum rate of 500-700 nmol/min/mg (Pitard et al., 1996). However, ATP synthesis rates vary considerably with experimental conditions, and our observed rates compare favorably with the wide range of rates (40-700 nmol/min/mg) observed by these authors. Future research will focus on maximizing the ATP synthesis rate by adjusting environmenta…
