The synthesis of enzyme-bound ATP by the F1-ATPase from the thermophilic bacterium PS3 in 50% dimethylsulfoxide.
Purified TF1 (F1-ATPase from a thermophilic bacterium PS3) synthesizes enzyme-bound ATP from medium Pi and enzyme-bound ADP in the presence of 50% dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). Once ATP was formed on the enzyme, it was not released even after removal of DMSO and Pi from the solution. The half maximal concentration of medium Pi for ATP synthesis was 1mM. The pH optimum for enzyme-bound ATP formation was about 6.5. Under the optimum conditions, a yield of up to 0.8 mol of ATP/mol of TF1 was obtained.
