Description
The F0F1 ATP synthase can produce ATP in the presence of a proton gradient across the membrane. Members of this family are the beta subunit of the F1 sector. The alpha and beta subunits are related and both contain a nucleotide-binding site for ATP and ADP. They have a common amino terminal domain but vary at the C-terminus. Catalytic sites belong primarily to the beta-subunit.
