Simplified comparison between bacterial and mitochondrial ATPases. (a) Bacterial ATPase: comprised of two subunits: F0, inserted in the membrane, and F1, which is present in the bacterial cytoplasm; (b) Bovine mitochondrial ATPase: also comprised of a membrane-inserted F0 and an F1 subunit situated in the mitochondrial matrix. The mitochondrial ATPase is more complex than the bacterial enzyme. Made with BioRender.
