The rotary ATPases use a rotary catalytic mechanism to drive transmembrane proton movement powered by ATP hydrolysis. Here, the authors report a collection of V/A-ATPase V1 domain structures, providing insights into rotary mechanism of the enzyme and potentially other rotary motor proteins driven by ATP hydrolysis.
