ATP Synthase : Advanced Look --> 1.) Location

Where ATP synthase is located is key to understanding how it produces ATP. Clicking on each of the thumbnail images will bring up a larger, labeled version of the described scene.

To see the Flash movie for the following sequence of images, click here.

The mitochondria, a key site of ATP synthesis. Its structure is an important aspect of ATP production.

ATP synthase and the complexes that form the electron transport chain (ETC) are located throughout the cisternae.

Here we see how ATP is oriented in the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
