Transmembrane ATPase, ATP Synthetase or just ATP Synthase, is an anabolic enzyme which harnesses the energy of small particles such as protons as they diffuse across a membrane to bind a molecule of ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) to a molecule of inorganic phosphate to create a molecule of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate).

This system is found in many different metabolical reactions in a plethora of organisms. One example is in the light reactions of photosynthesis, where the energy of protons acquired from the splitting of water molecules is harnessed to create ATP.
