Abstract
H+ transporting, reversible F-type ATPases (ATP synthases) and V-type ATPases share major structural features and function by similar mechan isms. Recent structural and genetic experiments provide new insights i nto the organization of the transmembrane and coupling sectors of the enzymes and the molecular mechanics of coupling H+ transport to ATP.
