Translated version
ATP synthase
An enzyme located in the inner mitochondrial membrane that functions as a molecular motor. Hydrogen ions (protons) flow back through it, rotating the enzyme, and the mechanical rotational energy is converted into chemical energy, synthesizing large amounts of ATP.
Original version
ATP sintazė
Fermentas, esantis vidinėje mitochondrijų membranoje, veikiantis kaip molekulinis variklis. Per jį grįždami vandenilio jonai (protonai) suka šį fermentą, o mechaninė sukimo energija paverčiama chemine, sintezuojant didžiulius kiekius ATP.
