This book examines one of the most fundamental families of enzymes in nature which is present in every known living cell. F-ATPase functions in mitrochondria, chloroplast and eubacteria in respiratory and photosynthetic phosphorylation. V-ATPase functions in the vacuolar system of eukaryotic cells by providing energy for numerous reactions. The function of V-ATPase is necessary not only for the activity of important organelles, such as synaptic vesicles, lysosomes, endosomes and others, but also for operation in the plasma ...

This book examines one of the most fundamental families of enzymes in nature which is present in every known living cell. F-ATPase functions in mitrochondria, chloroplast and eubacteria in respiratory and photosynthetic phosphorylation. V-ATPase functions in the vacuolar system of eukaryotic cells by providing energy for numerous reactions. The function of V-ATPase is necessary not only for the activity of important organelles, such as synaptic vesicles, lysosomes, endosomes and others, but also for operation in the plasma membrane of specific cells. V-ATPase is involved in crucial processes, such as fertilization, pH homeostasis and calcium resorption from bone. The structure, function, molecular biology and evolution of F- and V-ATPases and disease connected with these enzymes are discussed in various chapters.
