Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
We describe the nucleotide sequence of a 4.0 kilobase pair (kbp) region of the spinach plastid chromosome that encodes three subunits of the ATP synthase CF sector proximal to the gene for CF subunit alpha. The four genes are located on the same strand and form a transcriptional unit. Our study presents details about the genes and their products, resolves ambiguities in the constitution of the CF sector, and establishes precise gene-polypeptide relationships as well as intersubunit homologies in ATP synthases from diverse organisms. The amino acid sequences quences deduced exhibit substantial homology (30%-40%) with published sequences for the F subunits a, c (proteolipid) and b from E. coli and mitochondria, which therefore can be presumed to be structurally similar and functionally equivalent. Sequences comparison shows that the counterpart of CF-I is F-b. The homologue to the bacterial F-a is CF-IV, the product of a newly found gene, designated atpI. The data confirm our previous suggestion that the gene for subunit I, atpF, is split. The gene arrangement is atpI (247 codons)-692 bp spacer-atpH (proteolipid, 81 codons)-395 bp spacer-atpF (exon 1, 145 bp)-764 bp intron class II-atpI (exon 2, 410 bp)-65 bp spacer-atpA (alpha). The detection of atpI implies that the spinach CF sector contains four, the entire ATP synthase (CF-CF) nine different subunit species. The extra subunit in the membrane sector is the nuclear-encoded component CF-II which has no known counterpart in E. coli. The six ATP synthase genes that are plastid-encoded are organized in two operons that map 40 kbp away from each other on the organelle chromosome. These transcriptional units, designated atp operons A and B, differ in their functional organisation. The plastid gene arrangement corresponds to the arrangement of genes in the atp (unc) operon of E. coli substantiating the theory that ATP synthase complexes have evolved from a common ancestor. © 1986 Springer-Verlag.
