摘要: The charged and uncharged forms of carbonyl-cyanide phenylhydrazone uncouplers bind to phosphatidylcholine monolayers in a dose-dependent fashion, inducing changes the interfacial potential these model membranes. change produced by un-coupler is composed double-layer an internal electrostatic (boundary and/or dipole). Changes induced mitochondrial membranes can explain both inhibition oxygen consumption (QO2) caused competition shown succinate when mitochondria are respiring presence rotenone. From results from dose-response curves QO2 versus uncoupler concentrations, we conclude that 1 μM upper limit for free concentration medium avoid unwanted side effects during cell physiology studies require total uncoupling.
