These measurements were taken from nine realistic 3-D reconstructions of presynaptic and axonal mitochondria (Mendelsohn et al., 2021). The volume of the cytosol (Cyto vol) is an arbitrary volume. The numbers of proteins considered for each simulation were determined using the densities (Tables 2, 4, and 6) and respective surface areas or volumes. To determine the number of ATP synthases, the areas of high curvature (Mendelsohn et al., 2021) were considered (high curva IM SA), and values of the first principal curvature larger than 70 µm−1 were assessed.
