Structure of the catalytic dimer of the α- and β-subunits of the F-ATPase from P. denitrificans. The α- and β-subunits are shown in red and yellow, respectively, and a bound phosphate ion is denoted by cyan spheres. (a) View from the front, looking inwards towards the central stalk in the rotor of the intact enzyme. The arrangement of subunits, with the α-subunit on the left and the β-subunit on the right, corresponds to a catalytic interface in the intact F1-ATPase. (b) View from the inside of the intact complex, looking outwards. |
