Enables the transfer of a solute from one side of a membrane to the other, up the solute\'s concentration gradient, by binding the solute and undergoing a series of conformational changes. Transport works equally well in either direction and is powered by a primary energy source, directly using ATP. Primary energy sources known to be coupled to transport are chemical, electrical and solar sources. [GOC:mtg_transport, ISBN:0815340729, TC:3.-.-.-.-]
