title: Macromolecular organization of F1-ATPase isolated from Clostridium thermoaceticum as revealed by electron microscopy.
abstract: Membrane vesicles and the F1-ATPase from Clostridium thermoaceticum were examined by electron microscopy. F1-ATPase particles projecting from the vesicles have a diameter of 10 to 12 nm. The F1-ATPase has an alpha 3 beta 3 gamma delta structure. The alpha and beta subunits are most likely arranged in an alternating sequence around a central protein mass consisting of the gamma and delta subunits.
