H+ translocation is coupled to ATP synthesis in the F0F1 ATP synthase via a rotary mechanism. Catalytic turnover, site-site cooperativity, and H+ transport obligatorily involve rotation of a set of subunits. The transport domain in the membranous F0 and the catalytic domain in the F1 are mechanisms designed for generating torque.
