Figure 6.
Figure 6 Two possible reaction schemes for ATP hydrolysis by F[1]-ATPase. In parts (A) and (B) F[1]-ATPase is depicted as viewed from the membrane proximal aspect of the intact ATP synthase. For simplicity, only the catalytic -subunits and the centrally located -subunit are shown. ATP^* represents an ATP molecule that is committed to hydrolysis. See text for further details.
