ATP synthesis is the most prevalent chemical reaction in the biological world and ATP synthase is one of the most ubiquitous, abuntant proteins on earth. From '''<FONT COLOR="#E42217">''Escherichia coli''</FONT>''' to plants and mammals, this enzyme is one of the most conserved during evolution<ref name="PP"> PMID: 11533724</ref>. | ATP synthesis is the most prevalent chemical reaction in the biological world and ATP synthase is one of the most ubiquitous, abuntant proteins on earth.

PDB code of ATP synthase is [[1c17]]. The molecular study of ATP synthase was initiated in 1960 when Efraim Racker and his colleagues reported thia isolation of soluable factor from beef heart mitochondria. ATP synthase produces ATP from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate with the use of energy from a transmembrane proton-motive force generated by respiration or photosynthase<ref>PMID: 10576729</ref>. | ||
