Open full text 31 citations

Abstract

1. Small particles from Escherichia coli catalyse an ATP-dependent reduction of NADP(+) by NADH. 2. The reaction was stimulated by Mg(2+) and only ATP and ITP could serve as energy donors. 3. Studies of the stoicheiometry of the reaction indicate that 1-2mol of ATP are utilized/mol of NADH produced. 4. The reaction is inhibited by uncoupling agents such as 2,4-dinitrophenol (200mum) and tetrachlorotrifluorobenzimidazole (2mum) but oligomycin does not inhibit. 5. The reaction is inhibited by relatively high concentrations (200mum) of piericidin A.
