Previous studies with beef heart mitochondrial F1 ATPase suggest a mechanism in which binding of substrate (ATP) at one catdytic site accelerates the release of products (ADP+ Pi) from a separate catalytic site. hitid velocity studies reported here, in harmony with this mechanism, show a biphasic rate response with apparent K,,, values of 250 and 1.7 PM and V,, values of 54 and 2.2 pmol/min/mg. Further, the suggested mechanism leads to an important and previously untested diagnostic prediction for F1 ATPase, namely that high levels of enzyme-bound product will be present during turnover at substrate concentrations well below those which give half-maximal velocity. This prediction has been verified by the demonstration that most F1 ATPase molecules retain product ADP at a catalytic site when hydrolyzing ATP at concentrations less than ‘hoo of that for half-maximal velocity. The mechanism also predicts a negative cooperativity of substrate binding, with a slow rate of product formation until all catalytic sites are filIed. The predicted substrate binding pattern is substantiated by the demonstration reported herein that 1 catalytic site/Fl ATP-ase becomes saturated with only about 1, UM ATP present. This singly occupied site shows slow catalytic turn-over, and most of the oxygens of Pi formed at 1 p~ ATP have been exchanged with water. Pronounced decrease in this oxygen exchange occurs when the ATP concentration is increased to 10-20 PM, which is still much lower than the concentration of ATP required for halfmaximal velocity. These results cannot be satisfactorily correlated by either independent-site mechanisms or by interacting two-site mechanisms. A simple interact-ing three-site mechanism is presented that satisfactorily correlates all three sets of results.Considerable evidence has accrued over the past several years supporting the view that ATP synthesis by the ATP synthase complex occurs through energy-linked changes in reactant binding (the “binding-change mechanism”; see Refs. 1 and 2 for an outline of this evidence). These energy-linked
