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.
