Abstract

F1-ATPase enzyme is a biological motor which hydrolyzes ATP. The enzyme has been observed via single-molecule imaging experiments wherein the enzyme is allowed to rotate freely while being recorded using a gold nanoparticle. During hydrolysis, the enzyme causes Brownian noise when rotating to new chemical states because of a size difference between the 4 nm enzyme and 40 nm probe. The unconvoluted rotary movement has been revealed using techniques including rotational correction, correlation functions, and comparison of average rotational jumps which contribute to developing a multistate model.
