F-type ATP synthases are extensively researched protein complexes because of their widespread and central role in energy metabolism. Progress in structural biology, proteomics, and molecular biology has also greatly advanced our understanding of the catalytic mechanism, post-translational modifications, and biogenesis of chloroplast ATP synthases. Given their critical role in light-driven ATP generation, tailoring the activity of chloroplast ATP synthases and modeling approaches can be applied to modulate photosynthesis. In the future, advances in genetic manipulation and protein design tools will significantly expand the scope for testing new strategies in engineering light-driven nanomotors.
F 型 ATP 合酶是广泛研究的蛋白质复合物,因为它们在能量代谢中具有广泛而核心的作用。结构生物学、蛋白质组学和分子生物学的进展也极大地促进了我们对叶绿体 ATP 合酶的催化机制、翻译后修饰和生物发生的理解。鉴于它们在光驱动 ATP 生成中的关键作用,可以调整叶绿体 ATP 合酶的活性和建模方法来调节光合作用。在未来,遗传操作和蛋白质设计工具的进步将大大扩展测试工程光驱动纳米马达新策略的范围。
