Optimization of ATP synthase function in mitochondria and chloroplasts via the adenylate kinase equilibrium

The bulk of ATP synthesis in plants is performed by ATP synthase, the main bioenergetics engine of cells, operating both in mitochondria and in chloroplasts. The reaction mechanism of ATP synthase has been studied in detail for over half a century; however, its optimal performance depends also on t...
