The membrane-associated F1F0-ATP synthase of bacteria plays a vital role in the production of energy molecule, i.e. adenosine triphosphate (ATP). However, under alkaline conditions, ATP synthesis in bacteria is not thermodynamically feasible due to external high pH. Various studies reported motifs i...
