A membrane bound protein complex that uses the energy stored across the photosynthetic membrane to add inorganic phosphate to ADP, thus creating ATP. (Also known as coupling factor.)
An integral membrane protein that couples the transport of proteins with the formation of ATP.
Enzyme complex in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion and the thylakoid membrane of a chloroplast that catalyzes the formation of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate during oxidative phosphorylation and photosynthesis, respectively. Also present in the plasma membrane of bacteria.
(ATP Synthesizing Enzyme) : a protein structure embedded in the membrane of the thylakoid of a chloroplast, the inner membrane of a mitochondrion, and the plasma membrane of bacteria; protons pass through this channel and ADP and P are combined to make ATP
An enzyme in mitochondria that produces ATP by adding a phosphate group to the molecule ADP.
an enzyme that synthesizes ATP.
ATP SIN-thaze An enzyme that allows protons to move through the mitochondrial membrane and trigger phosphorylation of ADP to ATP. 129
Multimeric protein complex bound to inner mitochondrial membranes, thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, and the bacterial plasma membrane that catalyzes synthesis of ATP during oxidative phosphorylation and photosynthesis; also called F0F1 complex. ( Figure 16-28)
An enzyme in mitochondria that leads to making ATP (cell energy).
Multimeric protein complex bound to inner mitochondrial membranes that catalyzes synthesis of ATP coupled to proton movement down its electrochemical gradient; also called F0F1 complex. Similar enzymes are present in bacterial plasma membranes and the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts (the CF0CF1 complex).
A large, complex protein that converts the energy stored in the proton gradient to ATP.
An ATP synthase is a general term for an enzyme that can synthesize adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate by utilizing some form of energy.
