The membrane-embedded c-ring allows the passage of protons to power the synthesis of ATP by the FoF1 ATPase. Previous structural data have shown the proton acceptor-donor sites in a closed, ion-locked conformation. Structural and computational data now reveal the open conformation of the yeast mitochondrial c10 ring.
