FIGURE 2: Possible scheme for site occupancy during ATP synthesis.

Shown is the one possible mechanism for ATP synthesis based on the data for the bacterial [34] and yeast [35] enzyme (A) and the human (B) F1 ATPase [41]. The direction from left to right is for ATP synthesis and right to left for ATP hydrolysis. The three binding sites are shown in magenta and the γ-subunit in grey with the arrow indicating the relative position. The asterisks (*) indicate the dwell angle observed during ATP hydrolysis.
