ATP is made of adenosine and ribose bonded to three phosphate groups through phosphate ester bonds.
ATP synthetase converts the free energy of the proton gradient to chemical energy in the form of ATP.
ATP synthetase (multicolors) has two components: a proton channel (magenta) which allows diffusion of protons down a concentration gradient, from the intermembrane space, and a catalytic component (F1) to catalyze the formation of ATP in six alpha beta subunits (multicolors) in graphic on the left.

The ATP synthetase (ATP synthase, H+ ATPase) is a large, lollipop shaped protein-enzyme -carrier that is situated in the inner membrane of mitochondria (also in prokaryotic cell membranes and chloroplast inner membranes).
The theory is consistent with the fact that ATP synthetase molecules always seem to be oriented in one direction in electron micrographs.
ATP synthetase plus an artificial charge and H+ gradient plus ADP and phosphate can be used to make ATP (this is not a straight forward experiment because of the difficulty in inducing such gradients).

ATPases are a class of enzymes that atpase inhibitor catalyze the decomposition of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) into adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and na k atpase function a free phosphate ion.
Transmembrane ATPases harness the chemical potential energy of ATP, because they perform mechanical work: they transport solutes in a direction opposite to their thermodynamically preferred direction of movement—that is, from the side of the membrane where they are in low concentration to chloroplast atpase the side where they are atpase immobilization in high concentration.
ATP synthetase can also function atpase controls production of atp in cell cytosol in reverse; that is, use energy released by ATP hydrolysis to pump protons against their thermodynamic gradient.

This step is energetically possible because the free energy released by tightly binding the ATP to the active centre compensates for the instability of the new phospho anhydride bond.
Energy is transmitted to the catalytic subunits in the ATP synthase F1 headpiece by the rotation of the camshaft.
Normally the energy from the proton gradient is used to manufacture ATP, but it is equally possible in vitro to do things the other way round, and use the hydrolysis of ATP to drive the camshaft, and ultimately pump protons back through the turbine and into the extramitochondrial compartment.

The mechanism of this reaction, the ATP synthetase, has only become clearer in the last few years, and is still not completely understood.
This distortion forces the ADP and Pi together on one propeller blade, while the ATP that just had been formed on another propeller blade is distorted in the opposite way to release the ATP.
And so there are two methods of producing ATP from glucose metabolism: Oxidative phosphorylation and the "regular", direct phosphorylation of ADP from phosphorylated intermediates that was seen during glycolysis, or in the GTP-forming step in the Krebs Cycle.

The formation of ATP by condensation between ADP and inorganic phosphate is a highly endothermic reaction.
The ATP synthetase is located in the primary particles on the inner face of the crista membrane; isolated primary particles catalyse hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and phosphate, and you will sometimes see ATP synthetase referred to as an ATPase.
If there is no ADP available to bind to the empty site, then rotation of the central part of the ATP synthetase is not possible, and protons cannot cross the stalk of the primary particle.

 The General Considerations Regarding Cellular Energy Metabolism Page
ATP and GTP are both molecules with a string or 3 phosphate groups stuck on them.
For this reason, we call the third phosphate bond a "high energy phosphate bond." A lot of energy is released from ATP and GTP when the high energy bond holding the third phosphate in place is broken.
Notice that in glycolysis, there is a net gain of 2 ATP from the breakdown of 1 glucose molecule.

 Cloning and Functional Characterization of Human Selenophosphate Synthetase, an Essential Component of Selenoprotein ...
Comparison of the human and bacterial selenophosphate synthetase peptide sequences reveals a high homology glycine-rich sequence that is similar to conserved sequences found in many ATP/GTP binding proteins and protein kinases(25, 26, 27, 28).
Following ATP binding to selenophosphate synthetase, ATP is hydrolyzed to produce AMP and a pyrophosphate-enzyme intermediate(9, 10).
Arg also bind more ATP for a longer period of time than wild-type selD (Table 1, and data not shown) suggesting that glycine residues at position 269 and 271 may be involved in ATP hydrolysis (Table 1).

 Biology 101 Lecture notes, 2 February, 1998
The mechanism can be likened to a water wheel, where the flow of protons resembles a flow of water downhill, and the turning of the wheel is the turning of ADP toward phosphate to cause the bond to form.
ADP, by binding to ATP synthetase, provides an outlet for the protons that have accumulated in the intermembrane space.
By binding to ATP synthetase, ADP permits protons to enter the matrix through a special channel, using the released energy to create a covalent bond between ADP and phosphate.

Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I exists in the mitochondrion, and uses NH directly to produce carbamoyl phosphate for the urea cycle.
Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase II acts in the cytoplasm, and uses glutamine as the N donor to produce carbamoyl phosphate for pyrimidine synthesis.
This means that carbamate never enters the surrounding medium, and is presented to the ATP at site 3 at a high effective concentration.
