Making the right moves.

The structure of the nucleotide-free F(1)-ATPase from a thermoalkaliphilic bacterium presented in this issue of Structure (Stocker et al., 2007) reveals the structural interactions that prevent the enzyme from operating naturally in the hydrolytic direction. The data provide new insights into the mechanism of the F(o)F(1)-ATP synthase.
