Conformational Coupling

• There are 3 sites for substrate on ATP __________________________, and 3 possible conformations:- Open (O); a low affinity for substrate
- Loose-binding (L); not catalytically active, binds ADP & Pi
- Tight-binding (T); catalytically active, binds ATP
• These sites interconvert as a result of proton flux through ATP synthase
• Proton flux converts L to T, which produces ATP• Proton flux converts T to O, releasing ATP
