ATP synthase is composed of two main protein complexes: the F1 sector and the Fo sector.
F1 Sector
The F1 sector is a soluble portion located in the mitochondrial matrix. According to the provided reference, it consists of the following subunits:
- Three copies of subunit α
- Three copies of subunit β
- One copy of subunit γ
- One copy of subunit δ
- One copy of subunit ε
Fo Sector
The Fo sector is bound to the inner mitochondrial membrane. The provided reference doesn't specify the subunit composition of the Fo sector.
In summary, here is the breakdown of ATP synthase components in a table:
| Sector | Location | Subunits |
|---|---|---|
| F1 | Mitochondrial matrix | 3α, 3β, 1γ, 1δ, 1ε |
| Fo | Inner mitochondrial membrane | Information not provided in reference; requires further research for details |
