'''Summary''' | |||
The synthesis of ATP, the cells energy currency, involves a number of steps performed by a tiny molecular motor, found in the mitochondrial membrane, called ATP synthase. | |||
1. Binding of ADP and the phosphate to ATP synthase to the F1 domain | |||
2. Formation of the new high energy phosphate-phosphate bond between the ADP and phosphate using energy, generated by the hydrogens moving the F0, then the movement is transmitted by the axel to the F1 region. | |||
3. Releasing the newly made ATP from the F1 region | |||
