Solution structure of the N-terminal domain of the δ subunit of the E. coli ATPsynthase

NMR studies of the δ subunit of the Escherichia coli F1F0-ATPsynthase reveal that it consists of an N-terminal six α-helix bundle and a less well ordered C terminus. Both domains are part of one of two separate connections between F1 and F0.
