Great to share our new preprint on Chlamy’s chloroplast ATP synthase at 2.2 Å we see 13 c subunits, a modified redox regulation and a complete Grotthuss proton wire 🦠☀️

A 13-subunit c-ring in the Chlamydomonas chloroplast ATP synthase lowers the H⁺/ATP cost of carbon fixation
The chloroplast F1Fo ATP synthase is a rotary motor that converts the light-driven proton-motive force into the chemical energy of ATP. The number of c-subunits in its rotor fixes the number of proton...
