atp synthase

n=5


a: Atp synthase ~
b: rotary motor

What:

"For example, the ribosome is organized into two subunits that join to read mRNA and then split after the protein is made. The barrel-like proteasome consists of four stacked rings around a central core lined with protein-degrading enzymes. ATP synthase is like a rotary motor powered by the proton flow along the membrane "

a: ATP synthase ~
b: cylinder

What:

"Using chemical methods Paul Boyer proposed that ATP synthase is like a cylinder with alternating alpha and beta subunits. An asymmetrical gamma subunit in the middle of the cylinder causes changes in the structure of the beta subunits when it rotates (100 r.p.s.). He termed these structures open (betaO), loose (betaL) and tight (betaT)."

a: Atp synthase ~
b: connecting the circuit

What:

"Opening the ATP Synthase is like connecting the circuit. The charged particles can now flow through the circuit. In this case, the tiny molecular motor that they drive is the ATP Synthase."

a: ATP synthase ~
b: a turbine

What:

" ATP synthase is like a turbine where higher concentrations of H+ leads to more energy trapping and ATP formation and vice-versa. CoQ10 is the important coenzyme responsible for taking up electrons and pushing H+ into the intermembrane space."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
