Abstract excerpt

The subunit structure of the F1-ATPase from the thermophilic bacterium PS3 was probed by comparing electron microscopic images of the subunit complexes reconstituted to contain different subunit compositions. The following structural features were observed. (1) The alpha 3 beta 3 complex has a he...
