THE VIDEO SHELF · atp synthase
ATP synthase in action
A short Harvard Online animation, narrated by Professor Rob Lue, showing how ATP synthase works inside mitochondria. It comes from the HarvardX Cell Biology: Mitochondria course.
Why HN readers recommended it
Linked as a vivid visualization of ATP synthase as a rotary molecular machine, often in discussions of protein machines and cellular energy.

Professor Lue from Harvard has a pretty cool visualization of how ATP synthase uses rotation and the energy produced through cellular respiration to produce ATP at [VIDEO] , slightly more visceral than digging through a paper for a layperson.

In Discovery of ultrafast myosin, its amino acid sequence, and structural featuresMotor proteins are so incredibly cool. Like many others I was blown away by the 3D animated Inner Life of the Cell[1] showing these proteins physically walking around in the cell. Previously I had this idea that cells were just blobs of jelly and somehow …
