ATP Synthase is a complex structure consisting of two domains Fo and F1. F1 is a spherical structure, which, in the case of mitochondria, sticks out into the matrix and is anchored to the membrane by a stator to prevent rotation. It consists of three α- and three β- subunits, all of which can bind nucleotides, but only the β-subunits can take part in the reactions. Fo is a cylindrical structure capable of rotation when driven by translocated protons, and which is linked to a central stalk that can revolve inside F1.
