| Method |
Resrearchers isolated thermophilic FoF1, which kept structural integrity in a detergent, immobilized it on a glass surface through the ß-subunits, attached a small (80 nm) bead to the c-subunit ring as a rotation probe whose viscous friction was low enough to allow full-speed rotation, and observed ATP-driven rotation with a fast (submilisecond) camera. |
| Comments |
The rotation rates at various ATP concentrations obeyed the curve defined by a Km of approximately 30 microM and a Vmax of approximately 350 revolutions per second (at 37 degrees C). |
