Elucidating Events within the Black Box of Enzyme Catalysis in Energy Metabolism: Insights into the Molecular Mechanism of ATP Hydrolysis by F1-ATPase.

ABSTRACT: Oxygen exchange reactions occurring at β-catalytic sites of the FOF1-ATP synthase/F1-ATPase imprint a unique record of molecular events during the catalytic cycle of ATP synthesis/hydrolysis. This work presents a new theory of oxygen exchange and tests it on oxygen exchange data recorded on ATP hydrolysis by mitochondrial F1-ATPase (MF1). The apparent rate constant of oxygen exchange governing the intermediate Pi-HOH exchange accompanying ATP hydrolysis is determined by kinetic analysis over a ~50,000-fold range of substrate ATP concentration (0.1-5000 μM) and a corresponding ~200-fold range of reaction velocity (3.5-650 [moles of Pi/{moles of F1-ATPase}-1 s-1]).
