Research Abstract |
We measured the angle dependence of nucleotides affinity in the rotary molecular motor of F_1-ATPase by single-molecule manipulation with magnetic tweezers and simultaneously single-fluorophore imaging of fluorescent nucleotide analog. The binding/release angle of fluorescent ATP (Cy3-ATP) and fluorescent ADP (Cy3-ADP) were observed in the presence of unlabeled ATP, unlabeled ADP, and/or Pi. These results are expected to reveal the mechanism of hydrolysis rotation and ATP synthesis.
