title: Study of the lipid-protein interaction of F ATPases.
abstract: Mg2+ may play a role in altering the lipid fluidity of the bilayers which would induce a change in conformation of the F0 portion of the H(+)-ATPase complex. This change could be transmitted to the soluble F1 portion, the conformation of which is in turn altered, resulting in higher enzymic activity. In addition to mitochondrial H(+)-ATPase, similar Mg2+ effects on the reconstitution of chloroplast H(+)-ATPase and other intrinsic membrane proteins have also been observed in our laboratory.
