Mayumi Nakanishi-Matsui coauthored single-molecule measurements of F1-ATPase rotation and its temperature dependence. The work connects gamma-beta subunit interactions with the catalytic dwell.

A motor's average rotation rate can conceal distinct pauses and moving intervals. Resolving individual steps supplies mechanistic information that an average ATP-hydrolysis rate alone cannot provide.^[ref]
