Abstract
The effects of a number of nucleotides on respiration and phosphorylation were studied. In all cases where phosphorylation was stimulated, respiration increased correspondingly. Studies with C14-labeled nucleotides gave no indication that non-phosphorylative side reactions interfere with ADP:O measurements. These findings provide additional evidence that ADP:O values are a reliable measure of oxidative phosphorylation in liver homogenates from normal rats.
