Proton ATPase

In the field of enzymology, a proton ATPase, or H+-ATPase, is an enzyme that catalyzes the following chemical reaction:

ATP + H
2
O
+ H+
in ADP + phosphate + H+
out

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP, H
2
O
, and H+
, whereas its 3 products are ADP, phosphate, and H+
.

Proton ATPases are divided into three groups as outlined below:
