Enzyme ATPase is made up of two components, F₀ and F₁.  Which of these undergoes conformational changes due to the breakdown of the proton gradient to release energy?

In the enzyme ATPase, which is responsible for synthesizing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi), the component that undergoes conformational changes due to the breakdown of the proton gradient to release energy is the F₁ component.
