ATP Synthase Structure

This subunit is in the matrix.

→ remember, if it is interacting with the matrix, it must be water soluble!

ɑ subunit: Contains 3 of these subunits that form a hexamer with…

𝛃 subunit: which also has 3 subunits 

This grouping is termed the catalytic subunit 

ɣ subunit: this is what rotates with the c complex

𝛅 subunit: connects F1 to F0

ε subunit: regulatory unit that kinda just hangs out

This unit is embed in the membrane.

→ Remember, if it is interacting with the membrane, it must be lipid soluble 

B2 subunit: (B, but there are 2 of them), attaches the subunits

A subunit: contains the proton channels (½ channels) 

C ring: a circular looking unit that acts as a rotor. Multiples line up to form this subunit
