Based on genetic information, researchers have suggested that the molecular motor of M. mobile evolved from a protein that synthesizes ATP, called ATP synthase, although this had yet to be confirmed.

ATP synthase can be thought of as a complex of two motors — the ATP-driven F1 motor and the proton-driven Fo motor — that rotate in opposite directions. The mechanisms by which rotation and ...
