Week 7 Pt 1 Flashcards
1
Q
What does F1 region of ATP synthase Contain?
A
Alpha 3 Beta 3 hexamer ring
2
Q
What is the alpha 3 beta hexamer ring responsible for?
A
Binding ADP and Pi molecules
Catalysing the synthesis of ATP
Releasing the ATP molecule
3
Q
What requires the proton channel?
A
Releasing the ATP molecule
4
Q
What does the Beta subunit do?
A
Bind ADP and PI reactants
Synthesise the ATP
Release them into the matrix
5
Q
What can the Beta subunits exist in?
A
Tight conformation
Open confirmation
Loose conformation
6
Q
Open confirmation
A
The formed ATP is released
New ADP/Pi set can bind
7
Q
What does a rotation of gamma subunit of 120 in the counter clockwise direction convert the Beta subunit?
A
Tight to open conformation
