Atp Synthase 3d Model. The protons move into the c subunit. Once the subunit slides in rotate to a vertical position.
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. Atp synthase is a multi subunit protein complex embedded in the inner membrane of mitochondria. The protons move into the c subunit.
Our colorful 3d mini model of atp synthase will help your students better understand this important enzyme that provides energy for the cell.
Eventually the proton will drop out the bottom of the membrane. Add to embed share report. Insert the outer column into the bottom of the membrane lining up the tabs. Atp synthase is a multi subunit protein complex embedded in the inner membrane of mitochondria.
