Adenosine Triphosphate and Muscular Contraction [PDF]
IT is commonly stated, on evidence obtained with muscle extracts, that the energy of muscular contraction is derived in the first instance from the breaking of the terminal energy-rich phosphate bond of adenosine triphosphate. Why not try to find out whether it really is, not in muscle extracts which cannot contract but in muscles which can?

36 degree step size of proton-driven c-ring rotation in FoF1-ATP synthase [PDF]
Synthesis of the biological "energy currency molecule" adenosine triphosphate ATP is accomplished by FoF1-ATP synthase. In the plasma membrane of Escherichia coli, proton-driven rotation of a ring of 10 c subunits in the Fo motor powers catalysis in the ...
