Abstract:By rapid scan spectrometry, spectral changes of redox components have been followed during the oxidation of substrates by coupled potato (Solanum luberosum L. cv. Bintje) mitochondria under different redox conditions. The redox changes of the b cytochromes, the changes in the base line level and in the slope of the spectra during aerobiosis appear to be connected with changes of the membrane potential. As the latter does not collaps at anaerobiosis, cytochrome o3 remains in an oxidized state. Collapse of the m… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
