Proton gradients generated by electron transfer
The smallest rotary motor self-assembles from 8 proteins
ATPase has identifiable motor parts
Motor, Drive shaft, Cam, Stator, Viscous coupling,

Substeps in the rotation of F1-ATPase at 20 µM ATP.
Long dashed lines are drawn at intervals of 120˚, and dotted lines are drawn 30˚ below the dashed lines.
Kinetics of substeps (a) anddeduced rotational potential (b). Colored lines in b represent the angle dependent potential energy for subunit rotation.(A)-(A’) are potential energies for thecorresponding chemical states in a.Adapted from ref. 7.
Average torque during each revolution is 50pN.nm, but this is distributed over sub-steps.
ATPase is a variable step stepper motor
