Abstract

<p>When we have food intake, pH of the stomach reaches around 1. This highly acidic environment is indispensable for the digestion. Gastric proton pump, H+,K+-ATPase is a membrane protein responsible for the gastric acid secretion. Its crystal structures now reveal how this proton pump extrudes H+ even into the pH 1 environment of the stomach.</p>
