Molecular contacts in the transmembrane c-subunit oligomer of F-ATPases identified by tryptophan substitution mutagenesis.
When isolated in its monomeric form, subunit c of the proton transporting ATP synthase of Escherichia coli was shown to fold in a hairpin-like structure consisting of two hydrophobic membrane spanning helices and a short connecting hydrophilic loop. In the plasma membrane of Escherichia coli, howeve...
