ATP hydrolysis-driven rotation of the central stalk in the V-type ATP synthase of the bacteria Enterococcus hirae depicts chemo-mechanical coupling of the molecular motor. These simulations were carried out on the Titan supercomputer using NAMD2.12. Visualization and movie rendering were completed on VMD1.9.3.
