title: Rotation of the gamma subunit in F1-ATPase; evidence that ATP synthase is a rotary motor enzyme.
abstract: ATP-dependent, azide-sensitive rotation of the gamma subunit relative to the alpha3beta3 hexagonal ring of ATP synthase was observed with a single molecule imaging system. Thus, ATP synthase is a rotary motor enzyme, the first ever found.
