Atp Synthase 3d Model. As the c subunit is. 563 views 3 like unlike.
Atp synthase is a multi subunit protein complex embedded in the inner membrane of mitochondria. This 3d model consists of point data of the atomic positions in the molecule animated over one full revolution showing the changes in conformation that occur. Surface model of atp synthase assembled from pdb files of available sub units form different organisms.
The protein gradient that builds up across this membrane drives the rotation of the f 0 complex and its associated gamma subunit in such a way that the f 1 complex produces atp the universal currency of energy.
Our colorful 3d mini model of atp synthase will help your students better understand this important enzyme that provides energy for the cell. An evolving science 3rd editioncopyright. This model of atp synthase atpase lets students explore how a proton concentration gradient is used to store energy in the form of atp.
