Rated "high" as high school/SAT biology content. The article needs expansion (e.g. ATP synthase in different organisms) and references. - tameeria 23:05, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't recall all of the history of these particles, but given that it's one of the few enzyme complexes large enough to be visualized by a microscope, I think it deserves some space here, and perhaps a little more than a redirect to proton pump (which, under normal physiological conditions, it is not).

This is a wonderful reference with excellent discussions of the ATPase mechanism, and we need to incorporate some of this here: http://www.nobel.se/chemistry/educational/poster/1997/history.html Dwmyers 20:07 Feb 13, 2003 (UTC)

--- ATP synthase is F-ATPase and there are articles under both headings they need to be condensed. If no one objects in either field I will do so and redirect on into the other.

Also there are several vary award grammatical structures that need fixing.

The worked of the Cell by Becker, Kleinsmith and Hardin has a good chapter on ATPases. I’ll up date this article from the information with in and fix the above problems soon if there are no objections.
