H(+)-Transporting ATP Synthase, Enzyme Commission 7.1.2.2

The Na-K ATPase [Enzyme Commission 7.2.2.13] was the topic of earlier blog post. Here I present the H(+)-Transporting ATP Synthase, Enzyme Commission 7.1.2.2.  As shown in the diagram above, it is part of “respiratory chain” and “oxidative phosphorylation”.  In the Roche Biochemical webpage  it is located at “P” (shown in the diagram above) , and coordinate “10” (the bottom).  The enzyme is a key membrane protein in aerobic cellular respiration. Note, in the diagram above: the formation of water from oxygen and hydrogen at the bottom, near the letter “P”.
