Noun
ATP synthase (plural ATP synthases)
English Wikipedia has an article on:ATP synthaseWikipedia
(biochemistry) An enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate.
ATP synthase is a large protein complex that harnesses the concentration gradient of the hydrogen ions in the thylakoid space to generate ATP energy as the hydrogen ions flow back out into the stroma—much like a dam turbine. Source: Internet
In contrast, photosystem I and ATP synthase are large protein complexes which jut out into the stroma. Source: Internet
The energy stored in this potential is then used by ATP synthase to produce ATP. Source: Internet
These protons move back through the membrane as they drive the ATP synthase, as before. Source: Internet
This reaction is driven by the proton flow, which forces the rotation of a part of the enzyme; the ATP synthase is a rotary mechanical motor. Source: Internet
Through a series of complex chemical interactions, light activates an electron transport chain system where the movement of electrons releases energy which in turn pumps electrons out and through an enzyme called ATP synthase, thus making ATP. Source: Internet
