a: ATP synthase ~
b: cylinder

What:

"Using chemical methods Paul Boyer proposed that ATP synthase is like a cylinder with alternating alpha and beta subunits. An asymmetrical gamma subunit in the middle of the cylinder causes changes in the structure of the beta subunits when it rotates (100 r.p.s.). He termed these structures open (betaO), loose (betaL) and tight (betaT)."
