Ion-driven membrane motors, essential across all domains of life, convert a gradient of ions across a membrane into rotational energy, facilitating diverse biological processes including ATP synthesis, substrate transport, and bacterial locomotion. Herein, we highlight recent structural advances in the understanding of two classes of ion-driven membrane motors: rotary ATPases and 5:2 motors. The recent structure of the human F-type ATP synthase is emphasised along with the gained structural insight into clinically relevant mutations. Furthermore, we highlight the diverse roles of 5:2 motors and recent mechanistic understanding gained through the resolution of ions in the structure of a sodium-driven motor, combining insights into potential unifying mechanisms of ion selectivity and rotational torque generation in the context of their function as part of complex biological systems.
