Appendix 1—table 2. Estimated abundance of ATP synthase complexes in species with quantitative proteomics data.

ATP synthase surface area assumed to be maximum associated with the inner ring, 6.4 × 10−5 m2 for bacteria, 1.1 × 10−4 for eukaryotes. V: cell volume (in μm3); SAC: cellular surface area (in μm2); NPC,raw: raw protein complex copy number estimates; NPC,corr: corrected protein complex copy number estimates; cR: correction factor; PD: packing density (copies/μm2); fSA: fraction of SA: cell division time (hours); CG, CM, CT: costs of building a cell per in 109 ATP equivalents; CG: growth; CM: maintenance (per hours); CT: total; Rmax and Rred: maximum (all ATP equivalents) and reduced (without ATP equivalents expended in the form of NADH/NADPH/FADH2) required rate of ATP synthesis (per complex per second) to satisfy lifetime energy requirements.
