Description
Summary:	This book is about one of the most fundamental families of enzymes in nature that is present in every known living cell. F-ATPase functions in mitochondria, chloroplast and eubacteria in respiratory and photosynthetic phosphorylation. V-ATPase functions in the vacuolar system in eukaryotic cells by providing energy for numerous reactions. The function of V-ATPase is necessary not only for the activity of important organelles such as synaptic vesicles, lysosomes, endosomes, etc., but it also operates in the plasma membrane of specific cells. The structure, function, molecular biology and evolution of F- and V-ATPase and diseases connected with these enzymes will be discussed in the various chapters of the book.
