The structure of the matrix-open state of the mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier allows the determination of its transport mechanism, which involves a rotation around the substrate-binding site. Check out the paper at: http://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(18)31517-4.

Cool
This stimulates so many questions! 👍
MITOCHONDRIA IS THE POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL
Thanks for the wonderful video. I think, after a week of study, I'm BEGINNING to understand ATP/ADP.
I am fearfully and wonderfully made!
just recommended to my year 2 students ; excellent video to accompany a fantastic paper
