Each c subunit has a critical Asp (or Glu) residue about midway across the membrane, which can donate or accept a proton.

The a subunit has a positively charged Arg side chain that forms an electrostatic interaction with the negatively charged carboxylate of Asp on the adjoining c subunit

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant

Arg residue swings aside, forming an interaction with the Asp on the adjacent c subunit in the ring and displacing the proton from that Asp; this adjacent proton exits through the second half- channel to the N side, completing the movement of one proton equivalent from outside to inside the matrix.

The streaming of protons through the F_o pore causes the cylinder of c subunits and the attached ϒ subunit to rotate about the long axis of ϒ, passes through the center of the α₃β₃ spheroid

Each rotation of 120 ^o , ϒ comes into contact with a different β subunit, and the contact forces that β subunit into the β-empty conformation.
