Fig. 2. Location of tentoxin in the crystal structure of the chloroplast F[1]-ATPase. (A) Ribbon diagram of the structure of the chloroplast -subunit (blue) and -subunit (red) at the tentoxin-binding site. The inhibitor is shown in ball-and-stick representation. Both subunits are shown with their 3-fold crystallographic axis in vertical orientation, with the binding site facing the external medium. (B) Schematic representation of the molecular structure of a single chloroplast -pair. The structure is shown from the top as it would appear on the membrane; the 3-fold axis points toward the viewer. The bound inhibitory tentoxin molecule is drawn in cpk mode.
