Cristae Maze · ATP Synthase Array

Today's Oxidative Phosphorylation

Each exercise is an ATP synthase spinning inside its own crista chamber — the rotor turns at its own rhythm, the F₁ head's six subunits rotate around the central stator, and a hover releases the proton-motive force: protons stream back through the rotor, it accelerates, and the image flashes gold with today's kJ output.
