Electric Field Driven Torque in ATP Synthase
F(O)-ATP synthase (F(O)) is a rotary motor that converts potential energy from ions, usually protons, moving from high- to low-potential sides of a membrane into torque and rotary motion. Here we propose a mechanism whereby electric fields emanating from the proton entry and exit channels act on asy...
