Abstract
The coupling factor (CF1) is a protein complex on the thylakoid membrane that catalyzes ATP formation in photophos-phorylation. When CF1, either on the membrane or detached therefrom is activated through some treatment, it shows ATP hydrolysis activity. Though the mechanism of its action has been studied intensively in a number of laboratories, it is still unclear in many aspects. One of them is that there is nearly no information concerning the effect of combination of CF1 with the membrane on its function. Recently we have carried out some studies on this problem.
