Angle-dependent rotation velocity consistent with ADP release in bacterial F₁-ATPase.

ABSTRACT: A model-based method is used to extract a short-lived state in the rotation kinetics of the F₁-ATPase of a bacterial species, Paracoccus denitrificans (PdF1). Imaged as a single molecule, PdF1 takes large 120^ø steps during it rotation. The apparent lack of further substeps in the trajectories not only renders the rotation of PdF1 unlike that of other F-ATPases, but also hinders the establishment of its mechano-chemical kinetic scheme. We addressed these challenges using the angular velocity extracted from the single-molecule trajectories and compare it with its theoretically calculated counterpart. The theory-experiment comparison indicate the presence of a 20μs lifetime state, 40^o after ATP binding. We identify a kinetic cycle in which
