Description (originally from EcoCyc[1][2]) α subunit complex
Comments (originally from EcoCyc[1][2]) The alpha subunit plays an essential role in the catalytic mechanism of the enzyme and in the binding and coupling between the F-1 and F-O complexes. The alpha-subunit also contains an adenine-specific binding site which is noncatalytic, nonregulatory and not essential for enzyme assembly in vitro. Its function has not yet been determined. The alpha subunit complex is a homotrimer. [3]
