Proton-powered turbine of a plant motor
Open accessAbstract
ATP synthases are enzymes that can work in two directions to catalyse either the synthesis or breakdown of ATP, and they constitute the smallest rotary motors in biology. The flow of protons propels the rotation of a membrane-spanning complex of identical protein subunits, the number of which determines the efficiency of energy conversion. This proton-powered turbine is predicted to consist of 12 subunits, based on data for Escherichia coli. The yeast mitochondrial enzyme, however, has only 10 subunits. We have imaged the ATP synthase from leaf chloroplasts by using atomic force microscopy and, surprisingly, find that its turbine has 14 subunits, arranged in a cylindrical ring.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
