Describe the mechanism by which ATP synthase makes ATP.Protons flow with theirconcentration gradientinto a half-channel insubunit a.Protons neutralize aglutamine residue in thecenter of a c-subunit,allowing it to enter themembrane.As one c-subunit entersthe hydrophobic interiorof the membrane, anotherexits and releases a protonthrough the second half-channel in subunit a intothe mitochondrial matrix.Rotation of the c-ringrotates the attached alphasubunit.When the beta subunit isin the loose conformation,it may contain ATP.When the beta subunit isin the open conformation,ADP/Pi and ATP are ableto diffuse freely in and outof the active site.When the beta subunitmoves to the tightconformation, ADP and Piare squeezed together tomake ATP.TRUEFALSETRUE
