| the possible role of tightly bound adenine nucleotides in oxidative and photosynthetic phosphorylation. | the tightly bound nucleotides of the beff-heart mitochondrial atpase are released during cold inactivation followed by ammonium sulfate precipitation. during incubation at 0 degrees c the sedimentation coefficient (s20w) of the atpase first declines from 12.1s to 9s. prolonged incubation or precipitation with ammonium sulfate leads to dissociation of the 9s component into subunits with s20w of 3.5s. the 9s component still bears bound nucleotides which exchange more extensively and rapidly with a ... | 1975 | 127089 |
