Abstract

In the following review we collected and analyzed the currently available data on the structure and organization, localization, working mechanisms and functions of a universal and unique in its characteristics enzyme of ATP synthesis – ATP synthase. In addition to synthase and hydrolase activity, associated into dimers mitochondrial ATP synthase is responsible for “bending” the inner membrane of mitochondria. A large number of diseases, including neurodegenerative and mitochondrial ones, are associated with ATP synthase disorders, and among other things they are accompanied by structural changes of mitochondrial cristae.
