Structure of P-loop in ATP Synthase

Audience: Researchers | Purpose: Journal Figure

This illustration highlights the structure of the P-loop within the β subunit active site of ATP Synthase, showing its interaction with bound adenosine diphosphate (ADP), inorganic phosphate (Pi), and Mg²⁺. The lateral view clearly reveals how key P-loop residues are positioned circumferentially around the reaction center, facilitating bond formation during ATP synthesis.
