We briefly review our theoretical study on the rotation scheme of F<sub>1</sub>-ATPase. In the scheme, the key factor is the water entropy which has been shown to drive a variety of self-assembly processes in biological systems. We decompose the crystal structure of F<sub>1</sub>-ATPase into three sub-complexes each of which is composed of the γ subunit, one of the β subunits, and two α subunits adjacent to them. The β<sub>E</sub>, β<sub>TP</sub>, and β<sub>DP</sub> subunits are involved in the ...[more]
